Missing: 2019 Production

A story we know. A woman we must remember
ON TOUR NOVEMBER 2019 to Victoria, Regina, & Prince George
A new chamber opera by Métis playwright Marie Clements and Juno-winning composer Brian Current, Missing gives voice, in English and Gitksan, to the stories of missing and murdered Indigenous women. Set in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and along the Highway of Tears, Missing is a poetic expression of loss and hope.

Missing is an extraordinarily moving and thought-provoking work… a magnificent mélange of singing, acting and music that, one hopes, will be seen by audiences across Canada and the world. – The Whole Note

Co-commissioned and co-produced by Pacific Opera Victoria and City Opera Vancouver, the opera, developed over two and a half years, had its world première in Vancouver and Victoria in November 2017.

In 2019, Pacific Opera partnered with the Victoria Native Friendship Centre, Prince George Native Friendship Centre, Regina Treaty/Status Indian Services, Regina Symphony Orchestra, and Prince George Symphony Orchestra, to remount Missing for performances at the Baumann Centre in Victoria, at the Regina Performing Arts Centre, and at the House of Ancestors “Uda Dune Baiyoh,” in Prince George.
