In this episode, we discuss their recent production of a QT Onegin with Ukrainian songs, "Tanya's Secret" at the National Ballet School's Betty Oliphant Theatre, the creation of Opera Queens, advocacy and representation, identity, and their upcoming premiere of a new opera, "Cleopatra Built", with some scenes of Handel, Barber, Massenet, and more in Montreal for "Night of 1000 Cleopatras".
