The Summer Opera Lyric Theatre presents a chilling production of Gian Carlo Menotti’s *The Medium*. This classic opera, which first found success on Broadway, tells the story of Madame Flora, a fraudulent medium whose life unravels when she encounters a genuine supernatural presence during one of her séances.
Why You Should Go
Menotti’s work is known for its eerie, dissonant score and profound melodic beauty. This production is a perfect fit for the intimate setting of the Alumnae Theatre on Berkeley Street. It’s a rare opportunity to see a gripping, morbid, and ultimately beautiful piece of musical theatre in the heart of the city.
About the Venue
The Alumnae Theatre is a cornerstone of Toronto's independent theatre scene. Located in a historic building in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood, it provides a unique, atmospheric backdrop for this haunting opera. After the show, you're just a short walk away from the vibrant dining scene in the Distillery District or the historic St. Lawrence Market area, making it an ideal spot for an evening out.
