Luminato's "Symphonic Finale" - TSO and AirMagic!
On Sunday June 17th, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO) and AirMagic worked together to wow the crowds at Pecault Square with their combination of classical music and fireworks.
Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture was performed by the TSO in honour of the Bicentennial Commemoration of the War of 1812 and was punctuated by AirMagic's cannon fire and aerial fireworks. This was the last in Luminato's free concert series and brought this year's festival to it's Grand Finale.
We would like to thank Luminato for the sheer joy of shooting the 1812 with the TSO!

Bravo COC!
The Canadian Opera Company is coming to the end of yet another spectacular season.
Please check out these two incredible productions that we are thrilled to be a part of!
Congratulations to all those involved in making the 2011/2012 season yet another resounding success. Bravo!
Until May 14th:
The Tales of Hoffmann, Les Contes d'Hoffmann
Jacques Offenbach, (1819-1880)
Director: Lee Blakeley
Set Designer: Roni Toren
Costume Designer: Brigitte Reiffenstuel
Chorus Master: Sandra Horst
Pyrotechnic Effects: AirMagic Special Effects
Running from May 9th - May 26th:
Semele
George Frideric Handal, (1685 - 1759)
This is a particularly incredible production - the set incorporates an original 450-year-old Ming Dynasty Ancestral Temple, salvaged by Director & Set Designer Zhang Huan.
The temple, with an "eerie history" that parallels the story of Semele, has been incorporated into Huan's internationally renowned direction and set design. This treasure of a set
piece has been completely reconstructed on stage, acts as the central location for the many stages of Semele's growth and destruction and adds a rich backdrop to this Eastern interpretation of the Western opera.
Conductor: Rinaldo Alessandrini
Director & Set Designer: Zhang Huan
Associate Director: Su Jie
Costume Designer: Han Feng
Original Lighting Designer: Wolfgang Göbbel
Lighting Recreator: Willem Laarman
Flame Effects: AirMagic Special Effects

Counting Down to 2012
What an awesome year this has been for all of us at AirMagic! It started at Nathan Phillips Square as we rang in the New Year with CityTV, and it will end in Niagara Falls as we count down to Midnight with Global TV. This year we made the world's Biggest Burning School House and burned it to the ground in front of an audience of friends and family. We were at BMO Field for the TFC, at CBC for their 75th anniversary, and at CTV for So You Think You Can Dance. We celebrated Chinese New Year, Pride, Diwali and the Doras. We shot Fireworks from fields, lawns, barges and rooftops. We made a bonfire at a beach party on Richmond St. Our Fountains danced, we shot Streamers, Confetti, Pyro and Lasers!!! We had our share of Ooh's and Ahh's in 2011.
Our rental and retail business grew. We went through more than a ton of Confetti, and another ton of CO. Margaret Smith, Julie Li and Rob McKee joined us this year. Abby Swain is back with us. All in all we've had great fun. We're looking forward to an amazing 2012, and we know that we owe it all to you... our customers, clients, suppliers, friends and family.
So - from Jake, Matt, Margaret, Abby, Rob, Julie and the rest of our AirMagic family...
Happy New Year - All the best in 2012
