Classical music and opera events for the week of February 28 to March 6

This is a list of amazing concerts we are attending, wishing we could attend, or thinking about attending between February 28 – March 6, 2022. For more details on what’s happening around Toronto, visit our calendar here.

Toronto Symphony Orchestra | Final Fantasy VII Remake Orchestra World Tour

📅 Tuesday — March 1, 2022, 7:30 p.m. ET (Repeats March 2-3)
📍 LINK
💸 $51+

From the creators of Space Invaders comes an all-new, live orchestra experience that reimagines and reinvents one of the most cherished video game titles of all time. Whom will the hero of the game be? The TSO, of course. If video game music isn’t your thing, wait till Friday for The Princess Bride. | Details

The National Ballet Of Canada | A Streetcar Named Desire

📅 Wednesday — March 2, 2022, 7:30 p.m. ET (Runs through Mar. 6)
📍 LINK
💸 $42+

“Stella-a-a-a-a-!” If you haven’t seen the ballet production of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire, it’s a must. This revival production was created in 1983 by John Neumeier, Director and Chief Choreographer of The Hamburg Ballet. Time-tested, we’d argue this is the definitive version. | Details

Music In The Afternoon | Andrew Haji

📅 Thursday — March 3, 2022, 1:30 p.m. ET
📍 LINK
💸 $42+

Opera lovers will know Canadian tenor Andrew Haji as a go-to voice from operatic and concert stages around the globe. With many opera venues yet to re-open, this is an excellent opportunity to see this talent in a more intimate setting. He’ll be singing songs by Franz Liszt, Britten, and Francesco Santoliquido. Pianist Stéphane Mayer accompanies. Note that the Music in the Afternoon series has moved to Grace Church on-the-Hill this season. | Details

Toronto Symphony Orchestra | The Princess Bride

📅 Friday — March 4, 2022, 7:30 p.m. ET (Repeats March 5 matinée + evening)
📍 LINK
💸 $71+

Missing seeing The Princess Bride on the big screen with a live orchestra at Roy Thomson Hall is inconceivable. If you’ve never seen it, or if you were just too darn young to remember it properly, this is the chance to see it exactly as it was meant to be seen — on a big screen, in glorious Technicolor, and with the incredible sounds of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. | Details

Sinfonia Toronto | Chopin & Dvorak

📅 Saturday — March 5, 2022, 8 p.m. ET
📍 LINK
💸 $15+

Pack your bags for a trip through time, as Sinfonia Toronto travels to three very different countries. From Chopin’s Poland to Vania Angelova’s Bulgaria and Dvorak’s American West, hear how composers from far away places found homes in other lands. | Details

Royal Conservatory | Jeremy Denk with Les Violons du Roy

📅 Sunday — March 6, 2022, 3 p.m. ET
📍 LINK
💸 $50+

Anything with pianist Jeremy Denk, let alone Les Violons du Roy, is a Sunday afternoon well spent. You’ll hear Bach and Biber with the Montreal legends, Les Violins de Roy with acclaimed pianist, award-winning virtuoso Jeremy Denk. If the tickets sell out, or you prefer to stay home, catch the livestream for just $20. | Details
