Desautels Faculty of Music Opera Theatre Presents: Truth and Consequences (Night 2)
The University of Manitoba Opera Theatre ensemble is pleased to return to the Gas Station Arts Centre to present "Truth and Consequences" this February.
From a Mozartian take on Greek mythology, through Douglas Moore's sumptuous real-life trip through Colorado while trying to establish the silver standard, and ending with the frivolity of a multi-person con to attend a masquerade ball... we hear it's always better to tell the truth, but we must also be ready to face the consequences of that admission.
Join us for an evening of music, drama, and twists and turns of circumstance this February 16th and 17th, 2023.
We acknowledge we are gathered on Treaty 1 Territory, the home and traditional lands of Anishinaabe (Ojibwe), Ininew (Cree), and Dakota peoples, and in the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We also acknowledge that Manitoba is located on the Treaty Territories and ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Denesuline and Nehethowuk Nations.
We respect the spirit and intent of Treaties and Treaty Making and remain committed to working in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis people in the spirit of truth, reconciliation and collaboration.
We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
Acknowledging this truth is important to the Gas Station Arts Centre, yet we acknowledge that it is only a small part of cultivating and protecting strong relationships with Indigenous communities. We continue to consult and work with all Indigenous people of Canada to learn, grow, and do better as a community gathering site, and as an incubator for the Arts.
