The Snowman, the animated holiday favourite about a little boy who goes on a magical journey with his snowman, and The Hockey Sweater, the iconic Canadian Roch Carrier story about a boy forced to wear a Toronto Maple Leafs sweater in his hockey-mad Quebec town, both come to life in this perfect winter show with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra on December 5. Learn more and get tickets.

MTYP’s Midwinter Mosey (pictured) revisits three of MTYP’s best-loved holiday shows while audience members embark on a wintry walk. You and your loved ones will experience some of the most magical moments from A Charlie Brown Double Bill, The House at Pooh Corner, and A Year with Frog and Toad, all wrapped up in one heart-warming show. Scarves, toques, and mittens are encouraged as you and your loved ones promenade to different stations around MTYP’s facility and walk outdoors together through a winter wonderland. The performance will close with a final promenade inside. MTYP’s Winter Wonderland runs from December 10 to 26. Learn more and get tickets.

Create your own opera-inspired song with Blob Opera, a new machine learning experiment by David Li in collaboration with Google Arts and Culture.

This machine learning experiment pays tribute to and explores the original musical instrument: the voice. Play four opera voices in real time. No singing skills required!

The team developed a machine learning model trained on the voices of four opera singers in order to create an engaging experiment for everyone, regardless of musical skills. Tenor Christian Joel, bass Frederick Tong, mezzo‑soprano Joanna Gamble, and soprano Olivia Doutney recorded 16 hours of singing. In the experiment you don’t hear their voices, but the machine learning model’s understanding of what opera singing sounds like, based on what it learnt from them. Try it out!
