Never before seen in Toronto, Cherubini’s MEDEA is a rarely performed tale of mythic vengeance, realised for the stage this season in a stunning new producti...

Never before seen on the COC stage and seldom performed anywhere in the world, Medea is an exquisite rarity, featuring one of the most challenging roles in opera history. As the culmination of our season, world-renowned soprano Sondra Radvanovsky will tackle the role, reuniting with director Sir David McVicar for this brand-new production.

Medea is based on an ancient Greek myth, in which the title character helps Jason (Giasone), leader of the famous Argonauts, steal the Golden Fleece—only to be abandoned by him. While her betrayal makes Medea a victim, this operatic interpretation gives her the last word as she unleashes her rage with chilling violence against those who have wronged her.

Medea by Cherubini, Sun 05 May 2024, From (2024/2024), Directed by David McVicar,, Conductor Lorenzo Passerini, Four Seasons Centre For The Performing Arts, Toronto, Canada
