Against a black background is an illustration of a white woman in a seventeenth century suit and feathered hat holding a sword, in a colour palette of purples, greens, blues and wine red. Text reads, La Maupin: a musical film. Small white logos feature the Community One Foundation, Tapestry Opera, Canada Council for the Arts / Conseil des arts du Canada, and OperaQ.

So excited for the newest premiere from our friends at OperaQ! 'La Maupin' is a bold new musical film exploring the true(ish) life story of legendary queer opera singer, swordswoman, and gender-defying icon Julie d’Aubigny.

#Opera Canadian Opera Company opens 2025–26 with Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette—its first in 33 years—via Malmö Opera’s 2022 staging by Amy Lane. A new review finds the concept incoherent. What did you think? #CanadianOpera #Review

What do hockey pucks have to do with world-class opera?
