The Secret City

For our January issue, we asked prominent Torontonians for insider tips and tricks that make life in the city better. Designer Anwar Mekhayech’s recommendation for a heady indulgence that’s not totally over the top: the $60 caviar bump at Abrielle on King West. “You’re served a dollop of premium sturgeon caviar on your hand, which you chase with Taittinger rosé champagne.”

“At home, our theatre doubles as our bomb shelter”

Earlier this month, the National Ballet of Ukraine set out on a cross-Canada tour in support of refugees. Leading the ensemble is award-winning dancer Nikita Sukhorukov, who will be performing in productions of Le Corsair and Don Quixote in Toronto this week. We caught up with Sukhorukov to talk about making art during wartime, performing in a bomb shelter and his fans in Japan.
