Arctic Explorations, a folk opera, is a story about the human desire

to explore the unknown, which often comes at a cost. And nowhere

can this cost be measured more than in the Arctic, one of the most

beautiful – and endangered-- places on earth. Based on American

explorer Elisha Kent Kane's 1856 bestseller of the same name and

on period documents, including the love letters between Kane

and the world-famous medium Maggie Fox, the opera is inspired

by 19th-century popular song, hymns, sea shanties and Inuit

drum-dances, and scored for full chorus, five soloists and an

ensemble of clarinet, guitar, banjo, violin, viola, double bass and

percussion. Dellaira collaborated with Inuk performer Nuka Alice,

who will play the role of the shaman, Siarnaq, in a tale of science

and pseudo-science, icebergs and heartbreak, survival and ghosts.

 Arctic Explorations is finally about an America that was young, brash,

 and full of song.
