Curry/Opera

    Writing good opera is like making good curry- all the regular ingredients need to be balanced out but you also need that little bit of off-the-recipe spice to perfect the creation. Opera, like curry, is easy to ruin as well: over-intellectualize your recipe or be flippant with your ingredients, and you have an entire saucepan of inedible reddish-brown goo that only your most polite dinner guests would entertain.

    After some serious recipe-adjusting on my behalf (mostly involving re-measuring portions of dramatic timing), U of T's collaborative opera Footsteps in Campbell House is almost ready to be served at Toronto's historical Campbell House (160 Queen Street W). The opera will be performed 5 times by U of T's Opera Division. Performances are limited to 35 guests, since the opera will take place in different rooms within the beautiful historical house.
