The Bicycle Opera Project
Established
2012
Designed to bring contemporary Canadian music to smaller communities where there is little opportunity to hear it, our company closes the gap between audiences and singers by performing in intimate spaces. We perform new Canadian works that focus on current issues, in English.
Even though the Canadian music world has many talented composers, the mainstream public knows little of their exciting new work. We work directly with composers to rearrange works for a small, portable instrumental ensemble that can be toured on bicycle, creating a car-free alternative to touring.
Bicycle Opera was founded in 2012 by Larissa Koniuk and Nadia Chana, two young singers who decided to fuse their love of opera and that of cycling. Since 2012, the company has grown considerably, but maintains its environmentally-friendly roots and creates productions that are renowned for their fresh and inventive style. (bicycleopera.com)
