Her Holiness, the Winter Dog

In a dystopian future, humans cause the extinction of nearly all animals and must use people to replace their sacred pets. To protect their status and religious values, three sisters hire a guardian of faith who dresses and lives as a dog. As their spiritual leader, the Winter Dog incites change— but not in the way they expect.

Commissioned by Kamratōn, the opera is a collaboration with librettist Zachary Webber, and premiered under the musical direction of Daniel Curtis, by Kamratōn, Quince Ensemble, and Shana Simmons Dance.
