That’s not it, either. “Our fall calendar is full,” says Athena Ellinas-Towers, owner of the Opera House. “Whether we’ll be able to execute those shows is a different question.” That’s the case at venues throughout the city. Even if they’re not announced yet, there are tons of shows ready to go in the fall. So, to ask a question we’ve asked a few times throughout the pandemic: When will concerts return in Toronto? “Confirmed is the new maybe” Starting in September, the Phoenix Concert Theatre also has a schedule full of confirmed shows. But owner Lisa Zbitnew warns not to take “confirmed” at face value.
