Opera Sustenida was formed in 2020 out of a desire to bring engaging and illuminating operatic performances to the public. The ensemble features the talents of Canadian musicians Stephanie DeCiantis (spinto soprano), Nicole Whitney Dubinsky (coloratura soprano), Daniella Theresia (mezzo-soprano), and Suzanne Yeo (pianist). “The Divas” are known for their innovative virtual opera concerts that bring opera to a wider audience through their use of virtual techniques and platforms. In September 2023, they created their first full, live opera production with a traditional setting of Verdi's beloved opera Il trovatore with modern sensibilities. "Il trovatore: THE MOVIE" will be released in Spring 2023 with an exclusive launch party in Toronto as well as a live YouTube premiere.
