Synopsis

An Opera for Children, Frog Song follows Navdeep and Wyatt as they chart their way through the loss of a parent, peer-pressure, and female empowerment — all toward finding their true voice. A giant wall of frogs and a mythic skeletal bird add to the magic in this modern-day fairy tale.

*This is a workshop production*

"McGillivray is a first-class recitalist. Blessed with a voice of considerable amplitude with a ringing top and a strong lower register, McGillivray showed his interpretive flexibility in exquisite performances of songs."
Calgary Herald
