A unique recital takes the stage at the Carol Shields Auditorium at the Millennium Library this weekend as Indigenous musicians share music from the intersection of opera and Indigenous culture.

Songs from Treaty One is a collaborative recital presented by Dead of Winter and Virtuosi Concerts as part of the ongoing City of Song celebrations being presented by the Winnipeg Arts Council. The recital features works from three Indigenous operas that have debuted in the last couple of years, including Li Keur: Riel’s Heart of the North which was presented by Manitoba Opera in November of 2023, Mishabooz’s Realm by Treaty One composer Andrew Balfour, and Indians on Vacation, based on the award-winning novel by Thomas King.

For Winnipeg-born Metis baritone Caleb Rondeau, performing works that are rooted not only in Treaty One Territory but also in Winnipeg is a thrill. “Winnipeg has such a thriving art scene and it’s so important to highlight that because I feel like sometimes we get missed,” Rondeau explains in an interview with Nolan Kehler on Morning Light.
