Musique 3 Femmes: SOLO

Presented at the Fox Cabaret, Musique 3 Femme’s SOLO is a tour-de-force double bill for solo unaccompanied voice, featuring Scottish composer Judith Weir’s King Harald’s Saga and Love Songs by JUNO-Award winning composer Ana Sokolović. Helming the performance is one of Canada’s leading performers of new works, M3F co-founder and mezzo-soprano Kristin Hoff. The production, which features stage direction by Jennifer Szeto, premiered in 2022 at the Watershed Festival in Kingston and was subsequently described by the Kingston Theatre Alliance as the “modern opera the world needs”

“This production will serve as my debut as a stage director. What more can I say? It’s delightful to explore storytelling from this creative angle (which in opera is so deeply intertwined with and inseparable from the music itself, so much so it seems absurd that stage and music direction are considered different “entities”). This experience is made even more special by the chance to collaborate in a new way with my colleague Kristin Hoff, who is a wondrously talented and generous collaborator” – Jennifer Szeto
