Joel Ivany — qui a été décrit comme « l’enfant pas si terrible de l’opéra au Canada » — est reconnu pour sa capacité de repousser les limites de l’opéra. En 2010, il a fondé, à Toronto, la compagnie d’opéra Against the Grain Theatre, à laquelle il continue de consacrer du temps. Il a adapté et traduit plus de 10 opéras présentés dans des lieux inattendus, et a été qualifié de « héros des arts » par le Globe and Mail en 2020 pour son travail de réalisation pour le film numérique loué par la critique Messiah/Complex, une adaptation du Messie de Händel. Joel Ivany a également mis en scène 50 productions pour des compagnies d’opéra des quatre coins de l’Amérique du Nord et de l’Europe, dont la Compagnie d’opéra canadienne, l’Opéra de Vancouver et l’Opéra du Minnesota.

In the spirit of respect and truth, we honour and acknowledge the Banff area, known as “Minihrpa” (translated in Stoney Nakoda as “the waterfalls”) and the Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda) – comprised of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney Nations – as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Shuswap Nations, Ktunaxa Nations, and Metis Nation of Alberta, Rockyview District 4. We acknowledge all Nations who live, work, and play here, help us steward this land, and honour and celebrate this place.
