SUMMARY:Arcady Opera Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Arcady is thrilled to present their new Opera Showcase with three captivating 20-minute musical dramas! Brought to life through the brilliant libretti of Michaela Chiste\, these performances will take place on Saturday\, March 14\, 2026 from 7:30-9:00 PM at the Waterford Old Town Hall. The fully Canadian project is generously supported by the Ontario Arts Council and features the work of Arcady’s musical director Ronald Beckett as well as associate composers Benjamin Gabbay and Emma Verdonk. Experience The Innkeeper (Beckett)\, a captivating tale where two very different worlds collide in an unforgettable encounter. Featuring baritone Michael York as stoic innkeeper Frederick and soprano Cristina Pisani as fiery jazz singer Jasmine\, The Innkeeper is a poignant story of renewal as two lost souls rediscover the rhythm of life. The Scholars brings four students together for a night of meditation on human progress. Through innovative music by Gabbay\, Mary (soprano Sarah Storms)\, Agatha (mezzo-soprano Mairi Demings)\, Victor (tenor Cameron Mazzei)\, and Albert (baritone Christopher Pitre-McBride) debate the limits of knowledge in a philosophical reckoning. The Gardener (Verdonk) follows Marco (baritone Anthony Rodrigues)\, as he faces figures from his past within his sanctuary of flowers. Lost friend Zinnia (soprano Vivien Illion)\, former love Heliotrope (soprano Michaela Chiste)\, and mother Carnation (mezzo-soprano Michal Aloni) present contemplations on a life fully lived. Don’t miss these life-affirming productions that will leave you humming their tunes long after the curtain falls! Secure your seat early for the Arcady Opera Showcase with tickets at $49 available at www.arcady.ca\, through email at info@arcady.ca\, or by calling 519-428-3185. Reserve in advance.

SUMMARY:The Voice of The River: Grand River Community Play
DESCRIPTION:The Voice of The River: Grand River Community Play will be showing in Dunnville on Thursday\, August 21st at 6:00 pm at the RCAF Dunnville Museum/Base  \nThe Grand River Community Play Project: The Voice of The River is an interdisciplinary piece that will connect the communities and inhabitants that live along the length of the Grand River – a river that starts in the highlands of Dufferin County\, travels 310 km\, before emptying into Lake Erie at Port Maitland. About a million people live within the watershed\, a watershed that passes cities\, towns and villages\, trees\, wild grasses and coyotes\, and includes thirty-nine municipalities and two First Nations territories. \nThe Voice of The River is about community and the meaningful connection to Indigenous leaders and communities along the Grand River. It is an inclusive creative activity involving artists\, municipal and Indigenous leaders\, scientists\, Elders\, Community folk\, children\, NFP organizations\, educational institutions – and most importantly the Grand River. This is a project about storytelling – in all the ways stories can be told – in spoken word\, in song\, in dance\, ceremony\, in art installation\, in silence\, through different cultural lenses\, and via technology. It is being imagined as an environmental experience – something that will develop and build over time\, leading toward a unique presentation in all four seasons\, and over many years\, passing the experience along to next generations for them to reimagine\, for them to inhabit with their own stories. \nThe Voice of The River is a community event to celebrate arts\, culture and the Grand River. All are welcome!
