This June, Luminato Festival presents Apocalypsis, an epic musical voyage written by acclaimed Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer and reimagined by Lemi Ponifasio of New Zealand’s MAU with musical direction by Toronto conductor David Fallis (The Toronto Consort, Opera Atelier).

1,000 musicians and artists from across Ontario bolster some of the best local and international talent around: from multi-disciplinary artist Nina Arsenault, Tony Award-winner Brent Carver, dancer Denise Fujiwara, Polaris Prize-winner Tanya Tagaq, rising New Zealand opera star Kawiti Waetford, and the voice of renowned performance artist Laurie Anderson.

Written in two parts, Apocalypsis is a celebration of life and hope. Part One, John’s Vision, is a meditation on the world ending in chaos that explores the cataclysmic events of the final book of the bible. The second part, Credo, follows a revolutionary ascension to order through a serene and ecstatic exploration of the majesty of God and the universe.

Experience a cast of 1,000 local choristers, musicians, conductors, actors and dancers on stage moving through a meditation on life and hope.
