THE EVOLUTION OF FEMALE INDIGENOUS REPRESENTATION IN CANADIAN OPERA FROM 1879 TO PRESENT
Camryn Dewar with Anica Warkentine

Fulbright Scholar Camryn Dewar’s lecture recital, titled “The Evolution of Female Indigenous Representation in Canadian Opera from 1879 to Present” is a bold initiative dedicated to reshaping the Canadian opera landscape by centering and amplifying Indigenous voices.

Through an innovative lecture-recital and public discussion/Q&A, the presentation uses opera as a vehicle for truth, reconciliation, and education. Through analysis and performances of excerpts from Canadian operas Canada’s Welcome (1879) by Arthur Clappé and Frederick Dixon, Missing (2017) by Marie Clements and Brian Current, and Indians on Vacation (2021) by Ian Cusson and Royce Vavrek, Camryn will illustrate in detail how the heritage of creative teams and the creative inspiration of Indigenous operas impacts Indigenous female representation for the better.

All are welcome! No admission fee.
