The Star's Vinay Menon reviews our homegrown opera:
"Mayor Rob Ford did not attend the world premiere of the opera he inspired.
It’s probably for the best. While it’s safe to assume Ford does not know Puccini’s Madame Butterfly
from a Portobello mushroom, he would have understood this production.
And as his life story was reimagined inside a packed MacMillan Theatre
on Sunday afternoon, there’s a good chance he would have called 911 to
demand the immediate arrest of all involved.
Described as a “surrealist fantasy based loosely upon the personality of Toronto’s current and much discussed mayor,” Rob Ford: The Opera
is a tragicomic tale about a man who is by turns bumbling, petulant,
obtuse, delusional, lonely and ultimately doomed by those he has
wronged. . . ."
