Greetings
from SOLT!
SOLT has always focused its attention on the artistic process and the advancement of the artistic impulse. And we believe that a career in the performing arts makes better sense when there is a working plan to follow.
The roster of SOLT 2025 new generation artists is an impressive confluence of talent and musicality at the historic Alumnae Theatre, one that augurs well for the future of the vocal arts in Canada. These artists aim for a place on the stages of the world, Paris, London, Buenos Aires, New York, Madrid, Vienna, Salzburg and many more. Before they get there, we are privileged to make their acquaintance through their commitment to the pursuit of excellence and sheer abnegation to the art form, to opera and to the public. It is here, at SOLT that they have convened to check on Konstantin Stanislavsky, our experts in the field of opera and the greatness of Monteverdi, Mozart and Offenbach. And it is right here that they will present their work, their vocal talent and their artistry to you, your friends and colleagues. Each performance reaches an important and effective relationship that fosters success and career development and starts an amazing journey of never-ending discoveries, multitude of collaborations and music that is as inspiring as it is memorable. Their work is challenging and rewarding. The minute their hard work is thought to have been achieved, there will be harder work ahead. I hope each member of the audience will support their journey and will gladden to see them next on the stages of a grand opera house or in front of a leading symphony orchestra. And when that happens, you’ll be pleased to have witness their performances at SOLT.
Celebrating four decades of opera presentations by Canada's emerging artists, Summer Opera Lyric Theatre features Monteverdi’s THE CORONATION OF POPPEA, Mozart's COSI FAN TUTTE and Offenbach’s LA VIE PARISIENNE under the leadership of experts in the field - Jo Greenaway, Suzy Smith and Helen Becqué in fully staged operas by Guillermo Silva-Marin. Thirty vocalists from across Canada will thrill and entertain you with their fresh and insightful dramatic interpretations at the intimacy and acoustic excellence of the Alumnae Theatre in Toronto. Twelve performance culminate eight weeks of intensive training in the performing arts, movement, deportment and acting technique. SOLT is generously supported by the Jackman Foundation and the Estate of the Sandra Marlene Painter.
