Indians on Vacation
!
As a result of escalator upgrade construction at the Jubilee Auditorium, there will be limited escalator access between main floor and 1st balcony for this engagement. These improvements will bring the benefit of upgraded facilities; however, we do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding. Should the use of the stairs pose a problem, please take extra time to arrive at the theatre as the elevator may be busier than usual.
More about this event
Be among the first to experience the world premiere of Indians on Vacation – a bold, poignant, and comedic new opera that brings the novel Indians on Vacation to life. The story follows Bird and Mimi on a European trip inspired by a trove of old postcards from Mimi’s late Uncle Leroy, who absconded with a family heirloom a century ago. As the couple unravels the mystery of Uncle Leroy, Bird confronts his own inner demons.Directed by playwright, director, and dramaturg Yvette Nolan (Algonquin), this opera also welcomes back Julie Lumsden, a proud member of the Manitoba Métis Federation, and is conducted by Simon Rivard.
