Trailer for Valery Gergiev documentary titled, You Cannot Start Without Me
By Bob Ramsay
Next Tuesday and Wednesday, Valery Gergiev is bringing his Mariinsky Orchestra to Roy Thomson Hall. Gergiev has to be the busiest conductor in all of classical music, and his orchestra is constantly on the go. But home ground for them all is the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia. Here, in an opera house built in 1860, Gergiev…..well, Gergiev rules! CONTINUE READING >
NEW SHOWS RECENTLY ANNOUNCED
We keep adding all sorts of good stuff to your calendars! Today we announced that Women Fully Clothed will perform their latest sketch show, Older & Hotter, at Massey Hall on Friday, May 7, 2010 (which happens to be the Friday before Mother’s Day). These four fantastic ladies – Kathryn Greenwood (Whose Line Is It Anyway, This Hour Has 22 Minutes), Robin Duke (Saturday Night Live), Jayne Eastwood (My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Chicago), and Teresa Pavlinek (History Bites, The Jane Show) – have been called “the funniest women in Canada” by the likes of Eugene Levy.

PERFORMANCES
Chantal Kreviazuk (Tuesday): We mentioned Winnipeg-born Chantal last week because she has been selected to write, perform, and record one of the songs for CBC’s Great Canadian Song Quest, but today we mention the songstress because she returns to Massey Hall for a performance as part of her Plain Jane tour. Chantal has a heart that is anything but plain: she and her husband, Raine Maida, have done extensive work for War Child Canada, including participating in this fall’s Busking for Change event. More recently, Chantal recorded a song with other Canadians for compilation album War Child 10 called “People Have the Power.”
Il Divo (Friday): Il Divo takes the stage at Roy Thomson Hall, just after releasing their latest last Tuesday: a CD/DVD set entitled An Evening With Il Divo: Live in Barcelona. This performance in Toronto could well give Barcelonaa run for its money. Who needs romantic Spain anyway, when the sweet sounds of these gentlemen singing live are right here at home?
