Join Winnipeg’s own Little Opera Company for a lively evening of opera and
revelry in a cabaret setting. Featuring a mix of well known names from
Winnipeg’s music community, along with a number of up and comers, Little
Opera Company’s Opera Shorts is the perfect introduction to opera for those
who are unfamiliar with the art form, and an entertaining performance for long-
time opera lovers.
The evening will feature A Tall Order by John Greer (Winnipeg, MB), The
Confused Castrato by Michael McKay (Winnipeg, MB), and La Casati by
Bryce Kulak (Edmonton, AB) and Erin Shields (Montréal, QC). Short comic
opera A Tall Order depicts the first dinner date of a contemporary young
courting couple, while The Confused Castrato is about a young man who has
been altered to sing the role of a woman singing roles designed for pubescent
young men, but now he is being called upon to sing the role of a man- can he
measure up? Rounding out the evening is La Casati, inspired by The Marchesa
Casati painted in 1919 by Augustus John. It is the story of a socialite who has
practically exhausted all her wealth. John, a painter to whom she was patron,
has a heart to heart conversation during a long overdue visit about the reality of
her life at this point. They reminisce, filling the audience in on her opulent past
and resigned present existence.
