This lovely instrument - graciously lent by Toronto Symphony cellist David Hetherington - allowed me to "perform" sounds of Toronto at Saturday's big celebration in honor of what would have been Glenn Gould's 80th. Majestic, quirky, and sometimes bittersweet event for this genius who influenced and presaged so much, but also became a more and more lonely recluse.https://operaofthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/glenngould.jpgGlennGouldGlenn Gould - ummm Rick Miller - at this weekend's wonderfully eclectic Glenn Gould event at U of Toronto's Convocation Hall. Robert Wilson, Atom Egoyan, Lang Lang, the Lombard Twins, etc., etc.....and me on cello, for the first time live in a VERY long time. Only for Glenn Gould:)https://operaofthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/cntower.jpgCNTowerToronto's CN Tower where we experimented with all kinds of vocal acrobatics - from screaming to whispering to multiple renditions of O Canada! - with the young hip-hop artists of the FYI collective. About as fun and inspiring a Sunday morning as I've spent in a long time. We all got to go to the tippy top of the Tower after singing-recording.2012-09-25T13:36:02+00:00monthlyhttps://operaofthefuture.com/2012/09/20/celebrating-the-spirit-of-glenn-gould/https://operaofthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/403270_10151083452478953_1892711361_n.jpeg403270_10151083452478953_1892711361_n2012-09-20T15:20:43+00:00monthlyhttps://operaofthefuture.com/2012/08/22/skellig-act-1-scene-6/https://operaofthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/skellig-minamichael-rehearsal.jpgSkellig-MinaMichael-RehearsalMina (Merrin Lazyan) and Michael (Matthew Long) 2012-09-14T17:53:07+00:00monthlyhttps://operaofthefuture.com/2012/09/04/fireworks-over-edinburgh/https://operaofthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/edinburghfinale.jpgEdinburghFinaleAll kinds of colored smoke and fire effects were used to illuminate and transform Edinburgh Castle last evening, as the finale for the Edinburgh International Festival.https://operaofthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/edinburghcastlefire.jpgEdinburghCastleFireNo, the castle didn't actually catch on fire, although parts of the hills did from time to time!https://operaofthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/edinburghfirefalls.jpgEdinburghFireFallsOne of the most stunning effects was this waterfall of fire, created by stringing a huge cord across castle hill and sending fireworks streaming down.

The town was so dense and crowded - and one apparently had to pay a tax to go past the city walls - that buildings were very vertical and also deep. Also interestingly, different classes and métiers mixed in the same buildings. Tell that to Mitt Romney!!!https://operaofthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/edinburgholdnew.jpgEdinburghOldNewGeorgian building in Edinburgh turned into...god knows what?!?!?https://operaofthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/edinburghparthenon.jpgEdinburghParthenon Here's the unfinished Parthenon on Calton Hill, high above Edinburgh.https://operaofthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/edinbrugharthursseat.jpgEdinbrughArthursSeatArthur's Seat, the amazing land formation in the center of Edinburgh, right at the end of the Royal Mile and next to Holyrood Palace.

Yes, it was snowing outside, but that is not fog on the windows; rather all the glass is fretted in two layers with dots of varying shapes and sizes, giving a very complex texture to the building which will apparently change drastically according to light and cloud patterns.https://operaofthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/hamburg2.jpegHamburg2lbphilharmonie construction site. Billowing, complex glass built on top of old brick warehouse, which was itself raised some 30 feet to protect from flooding.
