Organized by: New Music Edmonton

Out Loud is a two-part opera, a contemporary feminist take on classic female characters in literature. Using live performance, electronic audio, and video, the three performers present multi-layered versions of familiar tales, exploring and exposing new strengths and approaches to understanding these well-loved women.

Part I, "Solstice Queen", is a re-examination of Titania, Queen of the Fairies, familiar to many from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Titania is represented here as a powerful leader, gathering her fairy troupe around her as night falls and the mystical Solstice night begins. Part II, "Mermaid", is a re-telling of the Little Mermaid fairy tale: in our version, the Mermaid has authority and strength, and explores her powers through conversations with her ancestors.
