After selling out its world premiere along with Canadian Opera Company in June, Nightwood Theatre, Amplified Opera and Theatre Gargantua are thrilled to bring back The Queen In Me by interdisciplinary artist Teiya Kasahara 笠原貞野 (they/them), accompanied by pianist David Eliakis (he/him). Combining comedy, drama, and opera, this electrifying show explores the many ways that race, gender, and sexuality are policed in the opera industry. Through the lens of The Magic Flute’s iconic Queen of the Night, the show reclaims space for the multitudes of women, trans, and non-binary individuals excluded from the stage, daring to imagine bold new possibilities for the future of the art form and beyond.
The Queen In Me features a range of dramatic arias from some of the world’s most well-loved operas: Puccini’s La Bohème, Madama Butterfly, Turandot, and Manon Lescaut; Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor; Verdi’s Macbeth and Rigoletto; R. Strauss’ Salome; and Mozart’s The Magic Flute.
TICKETS: Regular tickets $45; Student, Senior and Arts Worker tickets $25 (go to “Filters” when selecting seats and de-select “Standard Tickets” to access this price); and there will be a limited number of $10 Community Access tickets for every show. Please note an additional fee from TO Live will be applied on all orders.
