Dora Award winners announced

The Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts held their Dora Awards last night. The Outstanding Opera Production award, where the COC had four out of the five noms, was given to War and Peace, and the Outstanding New Musical/Opera Category went to the amazing Sacntuary Song who could have just as easily taken the Best Opera category. Paolo Gavanelli took the Outstanding Performance in an opera award for his appearance in Simon Boccanegra. A pretty good year for opera in Toronto, when you look at it! The full list of winners should be up on the TAPA website later today.
