The OSM launches its 85th season with two of its signature works: Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring and Ravel’s Boléro. Alongside the dazzling percussive rhythms of these two masterpieces, the OSM presents Chaakapesh, The Trickster’s Quest, a new chamber opera based on Cree legend. Ritual, dance, and an ode to the Earth!

Matthew Ricketts/Tomson Highway, Chaakapesh, The Trickster’s Quest, for narrator, two soloists, and orchestra*
Stravinsky, The Rite of Spring
Ravel, Boléro

*This work belongs to one of the 200+ exceptional projects funded by the Canada Council for the Arts as part of the New Chapter initiative.
