Part of the residency Opera Queens
Southern Cross
"THE DIVAS ARE BACK, and this time we are coming armed with high notes. Opera Sustenida is thrilled to join Opéra Queens for the August installment of its groundbreaking TRANZAC residency, the venue’s first residency devoted to opera. Stephanie DeCiantis, Nicole Whitney Dubinsky and Suzanne Yeo present SISTERS IN ARMS, a story-driven concert and celebration of opera’s lovers, rivals, queens, witches, vixens and warriors. Through beloved arias, duets, lively storytelling and Opera Sustenida’s signature cinematic videos, we’ll meet women with ambition, courage, complicated friendships and absolutely no intention of behaving themselves. "
"Opéra Queens is thrilled to be Tranzac’s first (and not last?!) opera residency! Join us for classical vocal music presented in FULL COLOUR - QTBIPOC in drag, gender-bent, and queerified. Sorry, Timmy Chalamet - opera is awesome and we’re dragging it kicking and screaming into the 21st century in the way it should be be - inclusive, accessible, and fun!
Headlined and hosted by founding Queen Mother, Toronto’s own drag diva aka Tanya Smania: seen and heard ‘round the globe from the Canadian Opera Company and Halifax Pride to the UK, Europe, the States, and Australia. Join us as we welcome Toronto’s finest QTBIPOC special guests crossing disciplines up close and personal - no mics and low tech, but high camp and drama!
