The worlds of opera and film collide as the Canadian Opera Company present a special avant-première screening of Atom Egoyan's Seven Veils at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts on Friday, September 8 at 7 p.m. 

Presented in partnership with TIFF, the film will make its official TIFF Special Presentation World Premiere at the festival on Sunday, September 10.  

Inspired by the legendary filmmaker's experience directing Richard Strauss' Salome at the COC over several seasons since 1996, Egoyan's latest work reunites him with Amanda Seyfried (Chloe) who plays Jeanine, an earnest opera director tasked with remounting her former mentor's most famous work, while haunted by dark and disturbing memories from her past.

Seven Veils also stars Rebecca Liddiard, Douglas Smith, Mark O'Brien, and Vinessa Antoine, and features a number of renowned opera singers who recently headlined the COC's winter production of Salome: Canadian soprano and alumna of the COC Ensemble Studio Ambur Braid, Canadian tenor Michael Schade, and German baritone Michael Kupfer-Radecky.

Prior to its official TIFF World Premiere, audiences are invited to experience a unique one-night-only avant-première screening in the very same opera house featured in the film; tickets are on sale now.
