The representation of non-Western cultures in opera has long been a
focus of critical inquiry. Within this field, the diverse
relationships between opera and First Nations and Indigenous
cultures, however, have received far less attention. Opera Indigene
takes this subject as its focus, addressing the changing historical
depictions of Indigenous cultures in opera and the more
contemporary practices of Indigenous and First Nations artists. The
use of 're/presenting' in the title signals an important
distinction between how representations of Indigenous identity have
been constructed in operatic history and how Indigenous artists
have more recently utilized opera as an interface to present and
develop their cultural practices. This volume explores how operas
on Indigenous subjects reflect the evolving relationships between
Indigenous peoples, the colonizing forces of imperial power, and
forms of internal colonization in developing nation-states. Drawing
upon postcolonial theory, ethnomusicology, cultural geography and
critical discourses on nationalism and multiculturalism, the
collection brings together experts on opera and music in Canada,
the Americas and Australia in a stimulating comparative study of
operatic re/presentation.
