Highlands Opera Studio. Photo by David SweeneySet in the beautiful surroundings of the Haliburton Highlands in Central Ontario, Highlands Opera Studio provides advanced operatic experience to a select group of talented emerging professionals with the main objective to provide these singers with the necessary skills to embark on a career in opera. Established opera professionals (international artist agents, vocal coaches, general directors of professional opera companies, etc.) are invited to interact with and advise our participants during the intensive season, resulting in new connections, many leading to employment and/or artist representation (national and international). Core activities also include 17 to 19 live public events/performances: multiple performances of 2-3 fully staged operas, 3-4 public masterclasses, 5-6 concerts, and free community events.

2020 SUMMER MUSIC GUIDE

Welcome to The WholeNote’s 16th annual Green Pages guide to summer music! To state the obvious, it is not "business as usual" this summer due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, we invited summer music festivals, the usual way, to let you know what they're up to and how they are adapting to the times. We've received the responses listed below, some to say they have cancelled outright, others to say they are offering live-streamed and other online events they hope you’ll tune in to, and still others to say “Like many of you, we don’t know what is coming next yet, but please stay tuned.” So have a look at the profiles presented here, to stay connected to the music you love and the creative artists and individuals who are pivoting to other platforms in these unusual times. Wishing you all a happy and healthy summer!
