I recently learned about a little secret operation called Opera Pro Cantanti (well, it's not secret, but why didn't I know about it earlier??) This hall is where the performances take place. The program is run by amateur actors and singers. The shows are made with minimal props, since all the materials and costumes are created, sewn or donated by performers and sponsors. This is the only repertory opera company in Canada, but the performances are world-class. At the last opera, Macbeth, the lead singer works normally as a firefighter. I imagine he must have a lot of passion and emotion to channel into his character.
It's much more intimate for an opera setting and it's less flashy, but I've been to a few underwhelming performances at the Elizabeth theatre - financial backing does not always mean the show will be good. I really think more people should learn about this place and support the amazing work and talent being showcased.
Shows are weekly and are about $12-18.
