Opera Queens have a six month residency at the Tranzac and they handed over their slot this Saturday to Opera Sustenida who put on their show Women in Arms. It’s a series of “chapters” each of which features a few arias illustrating a typical female role in opera e.g. sisters, lovers, queens etc. The singing is shared between coloratura soprano Nicole Dubinsky and her dramatic colleague Stephanie DeCiantis; with several duets, plus Suzanne Yeo on the piano. They also included two of their short films from the COVID era.
June is fast approaching and, as ever, it’s one of the odder months in the performance calendar. Here’s what has caught my eye (so far).
