The 11th Operanation was held at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts on Queen and University Thursday evening. With performances by French band Yelle, as well as Ensemble Studio singers and much more, including food stations, which, in my opinion, is probably one of the best things about Operanation besides the live performance.
