Queen Marinette

Queen Marinette

A first of its kind blend of music, storytelling, opera, and an immersive experience of nature, Queen Marinette tells the story of its title character, a 19th Century business woman with Ojibwe, French, and Menominee heritage.

The evening itself is a collaboration of voices from a diversity of backgrounds: Native American storyteller and composer Laughing Fox, American composer Evan Premo, director and librettist Edwin Cahill, and performers Matt Cahill, Audrey Luna and the Palaver Strings ensemble.

Audiences will be the first to hear the melodies and meet the characters of this extraordinary story that will explore themes of indigenous rights, feminism, ecology, and connection between culture and nature. Audience Q&A to follow.
