Set in and inspired by the Canadian Opera Company ticket sales box office, Canadian composer Bekah Simms' The Box Office uses musical gestures of chromaticism and tritone leaps to highlight the uneasiness of a conversation between a very tired box office attendant and her insufferable customer. This short but poignant conversation is humorously and cleverly depicted in Canadian Michael Albano鈥檚 libretto.

Pauline Viardot鈥檚 setting of Cendrillon (Cinderella) is true to the original fairy tale; however Viardot takes a more lighthearted approach to the tale compared to other operatic versions of this enchanting story. Keen ears might hear references to themes used in Rossini鈥檚 and Massenet鈥檚 versions.
