GREEN ROOM: Kwagiulth and Stó:lō First Nations Mezzo-soprano Marion Newman

“I think it’s important that we as Canadians start to understand what incredible talent we have here within the opera realm. I’m not just talking about singers - I’m talking about repetiteurs, conductors, composers, librettists, stagehands. Everyone who makes opera happen.”
- Marion Newman
Kwagiulth and Stó:lō First Nations mezzo soprano Marion Newman continues our #GREENROOM series this week, speaking to what makes Canada’s opera community so special.
She reflects on her early career beginnings, how it feels to embrace multiple cultural identities, and what makes opera so special as a musical artform.
