The final opera on offer is Alejandra Odgers and Nicole O’Bomsawins’s “Nantasis.” It follows the story of hero KI8sk8ba as he heads south in search of Niben Summer) so that she can come north and convince the ice creature Pebon to end winter. It stars Nicole O’Bomsawin as the storyteller, alongside Odéi Bilodeau, Élise Boucher-DeGonzague, Mishael Eusebio, and William Kraushaar. Christopher Gaudreault conducts.
