What TL Insiders can look forward to in November

The past few weeks have gifted us prime fall weather, some of our favourite annual festivals and the final outdoor concerts of the season (not to mention a few thrilling baseball games). But, as the calendar flips to November, the vibe in Toronto shifts overnight: the holiday season is just around the corner, music has moved indoors and, before you know it, the city will be a festive, sparkling snow globe. Don’t fight it—there’s plenty to enjoy in the weeks ahead. Here’s what TL Insiders can look forward to this November.

Special Offer: The electrifying musical Octet Good news: TL Insiders save 25 per cent on tickets to this off-broadway sensation when they use the code “OCTET25.” This award-winning performance explores human connection in an internet-obsessed world, blending humour and sharp observations with beautiful choral harmonies. It’s a one-of-a-kind show that will be playing at the Crow’s Nest Theatre in Toronto until November 8.

Contest: Toronto Through Our Eyes Community Showcase One lucky Insider will win a pair of tickets to the Toronto Through Our Eyes Community Showcase. This inspiring evening celebrates creativity, connection and stories from the city while showcasing the work of both amateur and expert photographers. Hosted by the Canadian Positive Psychology Association in partnership with SeeingHappy, the showcase is a vibrant, art-filled event that aims to bring people together while fostering well-being and hope. The Bentway, November 18, 6:30 p.m.

Contest: Chef Nuit Regular’s restaurants

We hope you’re hungry. Five TL Insiders will win a $100 digital gift card to one of chef Nuit Regular’s acclaimed restaurants: Pai, Kiin, Tha Phae Tavern, Sukhothai or Makilala. These outstanding local hotspots offer flavourful Thai and Filipino dishes that honour Regular’s heritage while celebrating food and connection. Each unique space is a welcoming environment that promises an unforgettable dining experience. This contest will be open from November 19 at 2 p.m. to November 20 at 2 p.m. Winners will be selected by random draw and contacted by email on November 21.

Contest: Romeo & Juliet with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra Five lucky winners will receive a pair of main-floor tickets to Romeo & Juliet performed by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. This immersive, evocative musical performance will be led by renowned conductor and TSO musical director Gustavo Gimeno. Expect a dramatic, cinematic musical experience that includes well-known pieces as well as modern interpretations of Prokofiev’s beloved ballet score. Roy Thomson Hall, November 21, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
