Snowblind: World Premiere Opera Workshop in Concert
Sunday, October 25, 2025
3:00 PM
The Registry Theatre
World Premiere opera in concert, inspired by the description of the NWT by Kathleen McDonald with details from the book A Discovery of Strangers by Rudi Wiebe and Narratives of a Journey to the Shores of the Polar Sea by Dr. John Richardson. NUMUS is honoured to be involved in this retelling of John Franklin’s first visit to the Northwest Territories in 1820. We celebrate Boyd McDonald.
Support the development of an exciting new work of contemporary music: Snowblind is composer Boyd McDonald’s first opera and was inspired by his mother’s trip to the arctic in the 1960’s. The libretto by Ed Jewinski is based on the story of the first Franklin expedition to the arctic in 1819-1822.
