An original solo queer storytelling opera hybrid, The Book of My Shames was developed with the support of Pacific Opera Victoria. After a sold out première at Tapestry Opera as part of Toronto Pride in 2019, this new local work now makes its hometown première in a limited run at the Baumann Centre.
The Book of My Shames offsets rapid-fire monologues with an unorthodox array of music old and new, including an expansive original memory opera. Its particular flavour has been drolly described as “what would happen if the opera-singing lovechild of Noel Coward and Sylvia Plath was encouraged by his therapist to perform on Grownups Read Things They Wrote as Kids.”
The Book of My Shames is an Intrepid Theatre and Pacific Opera Victoria co-presentation as part of UNO Fest.
Tickets may be purchased online.
