This can be a record of live shows we’re attending, wishing we might attend, or excited about attending between June 12 and June 18, 2023. For extra particulars on what’s taking place round Toronto, go to our calendar right here.
Luminato/Treemonisha

Scott Joplin’s nearly-lost opera of 1911 is refitted for Luminato by a predominantly Black feminine artistic group with a brand new libretto and a modified rating. Canadian soprano Neema Bickersteth leads an all-Black forged within the title position. Data right here.
Toronto Symphony Orchestra/Yuja Wang/Gustavo Gimeno
Friday June 16 at 7:30 p.m. (repeats Saturday June 17 at 8 p.m. and Sunday June 18 at 3 p.m.). Roy Thomson Corridor. Offered out.
The final classical outings of the TSO season characteristic no much less a star than Yuja Wang in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3. Gustavo Gimeno leads Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 1 plus Subsequent Era commissions from Matthew-John Knights, Fjóla Evans and Luis Ramirez. Flip up by 1:45 p.m. on Sunday for a chamber mini-program together with a trio of titled TSO musicians enjoying Erwin Schulhoff’s Concertino for flute, viola and double bass. The live shows are formally offered out but it surely doesn’t harm to examine with the field workplace. Data right here.
Luminato/Dragon’s Story
Thursday June 15 at 8 p.m. (repeats Friday June 16 at 8 p.m., Saturday June 17 at 8 p.m. and Sunday June 18 at 8 p.m.). Harbourfront Centre Live performance Stage (235 Queen’s Quay W.). Free.
Chan Ka Nin (music) and Mark Brownell (libretto) have created a then-and-now opera exploring “the wealthy and typically tense dynamics of first and second-generation immigrants” by means of an historical Chinese language fable and the journey of a contemporary Chinese language-Canadian girl. Tapestry Opera’s Michael Hidetoshi does the directing. David Fallis conducts Choir 21 and Ensemble Soundstreams. This Soundstreams co-production is an outside present by the water. Data right here.
