Recently I’ve been fortunate to encounter small opera ensembles in the Toronto area   particularly those that showcase young talent.  Just a few days ago I wrote about the Soupcan Theatre’s program, and I interviewed the founder of Summer Opera Lyric Theatre, Guillermo Silva-Marin.

Now I’ve heard of another group.
