It was an absolutely massive spectacle: a colossal production of Verdi's famous Egyptian opera, Aida. There were more than a thousand performers on stage. A hundred musicians played in the orchestra. The set was dominated by a sphinx that towered four storeys high and spewed real flame. A full menagerie of animals was deployed to wow the audience: four elephants were joined by lions, tigers, leopards, camels, horses, a python, and dozens of doves that were released into the air. It was three-and-a-half hours long and performed to crowds of nearly 40,000 people. It took place on Toronto's biggest stage: beneath the futuristic roof of the brand new SkyDome, just months after the stadium opened.
Hi Adam, I’m interested in attending the Bizarre Toronto series but I notice the date for the Necropolis tour doesn’t line up - Saturday April 8? Can you confirm? And thanks for another great post!

Thanks so much for catching that, Dana! It is actually being held Saturday, May 11. I've fixed the mistake on the website!
