This sculpture of St. Michael slaying the dragon, by 19th century French sculptor Emmanuel Frémiet, sits quietly in the corner of the Max Tanenbaum Courtyard Garden. Unless you're an opera fan, or fond of exploring the city's laneways and back alleys, you may not yet have discovered this space. The courtyard sits behind the Canadian Opera Company's building on Front Street, and faces the rather unimposing Nicholson Lane. The lane is so mundane that stumbling across this green and leafy space for the first time, with its decorative fencing and charming gazebo, felt quite magical. Fans of the series The Umbrella Academy may recognize the courtyard, and this statue, from the opening episode.
