In this edition of The Weekender, Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller at the AGO, Oprah (yes, that Oprah) and three more things to do in Toronto.

ART Lost in the Memory Palace Art world superstars Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller bring their acclaimed immersive multimedia pieces for a run at the AGO. The Storm Room recreates the feeling of being isolated in an abandoned shack while a storm rages outside. Thunder claps, lightning flashes and water actually drips from the ceiling. In The Forty Part Motet, 40 individual speakers blare 40 individual voices, as if a full 40-piece choir is singing full blast only a few feet away. $12. April 6-August 18. Art Gallery of Ontario, 317 Dundas Street W, www.ago.net/lost-in-the-memory-palace

Opening night on Friday includes a free pizza party. $8.50-$12. April 9-21. TIFF Bell Lightbox, 350 King St W. tiff.net/kids

OPRAH An Evening With Oprah The revered former daytime host is sharing personal stories and insights, and offering advice on how to reach your full potential over the course of a 90-minute solo presentation in Hamilton. A 30-minute Q&A session follows, and YOU GET A FREE CAR (just kidding—you don’t). $77—$467. April 13. Copps Coliseum, 101 York Blvd., Hamilton. tickets-center.com
