Students from The Glenn Gould School’s vocal program will present five short and mostly comic works with a common, distinctly quirky Canadian sensibility, all commissioned and premiered by Toronto’s Tapestry Opera between 2002 and 2009. Settings include a park, an ice rink, a hardware store, an ant colony, and a sock drawer. Peter Tiefenbach returns once again as music director, with director Dana Fradkin and designer Adriana Bogaard.

Affairs of State is playwright and screenwriter Louis Verneuil’s classic, rediscovered post-WW2 comedic gem, a funny and intriguing story about the diplomatic deals and double crosses behind closed doors in Washington featuring a memorable love quadrangle that threatens the appointment of a new Under-Secretary of State. It’s a chance to revisit an age when satirical comedies were sophisticated, smart, sassy, insightful, and fun, with the wit and charm of the best Katharine Hepburn/ Spencer Tracy ﬁlms. It ran for over two years on Broadway when first produced. It’s a lovely show that evokes the post-war optimism that infuses so many of the era’s stories on stage and screen. And most remarkable of all, Democrats and Republicans speak civilly with one another!
