Literally "overdone arias". A tongue-in-cheek (and recession-friendly) survey of some of the overdone pieces mezzo Stephen Chen was asked to perform over the years - most of which he resisted, and some he ended up liking.
Mezzo Stephen Chen departs from his usual earnest esoteric fare with a light evening of audience favorites. He is joined by Christina Faye who is new to the Toronto music scene.
