Never before seen on the COC’s stage, Cherubini’s Medea arrives at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts as one of our most hotly anticipated events of the season!

Featuring sopranos Sondra Radvanovsky and Chiara Isotton in the famously challenging leading role, this tale of a spurned sorceress driven to murderous vengeance is powerfully reimagined in director Sir David McVicar’s landmark new production. A true operatic rarity that has to be seen—and heard!—to be believed.

Cherubini's MEDEA is on stage May 3-17, 2024 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto, ON. Tickets are on sale now at http://www.coc.ca/Medea.
