Editor’s note: For the next few Thursdays The Blade is giving area classical performance groups a chance to write about their programming plans for a post-pandemic world. We begin with Toledo Opera.
Imagine Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as a teenager in the present day. He’s wearing a hoodie and holding a bag of Skittles — an ordinary teenager, just like Trayvon Martin.
That powerful image appears in the final scene of I Dream, Douglas Tappin’s contemporary opera based on the life of King. Like many great works of art, I Dream invites us to see a familiar story through fresh eyes, and to think differently about the world we live in today.

In what they have offered as a ray of optimism and hope for a future without the fear of the coronavirus, the Toledo Opera released the details of its 2020-21 62nd season this week. Executive Director Suzanne Rorick said, “Over the course of 62 years, Toledo Opera has weathered may storms. I have every confidence that, together with our audience’s continued support and encouragement, we will weather this one too.”
Understanding the ebb and flow of the artistic times, the organization has chosen to scale back its season financially without shorting the high aesthetic standards for which it has become known the past few seasons. In the offing will be two major productions rather than three, and a gala celebration of the resident musical ensemble.

As snow fell on the streets of Toledo on Wednesday evening, a smaller-than-expected group of area high school students braved the elements to sit completely mesmerized as winter descended on stage of the Valentine Theatre as well. Set in the freezing snows of romantic Paris, the Toledo Opera opened the final dress rehearsal of its all-new production of Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème.
In short, this compelling portrait of love and loss among penniless artists in 19th-century Paris unfolds just right.
