This production was presented as part of Summer Opera Lyric Theatre’s 2019 season in Toronto, a workshop-based summer festival showcasing emerging artists. The 2019 season balanced comedy and tragedy and emphasized themes of diversity and inclusion. The Consul was one of three operas on the bill, alongside Verdi’s La Traviata and a double bill of Gianni Schicchi and Riders to the Sea. As a workshop staging, it focused on character development and musical preparation, using the intimate Robert Gill Theatre to heighten the intense interpersonal drama at the heart of Menotti’s work. The festival’s format typically involves extensive study and rehearsal leading to public performances, sometimes with double casting of principal roles.
