Fides Krucker

Bio

Fides Krucker has sung and created award-winning contemporary opera and interdisciplinary work for thirty-five years. Her company, Good Hair Day Productions, produced the groundbreaking electroacoustic monodrama Girl With No Door On Her Mouth; CP Salon, an R&B disability love show — now an NFB film; Julie Sits Waiting, a sexual catastrophe opera nominated for five Doras; and In This Body, a song journey with dance (Baker/Lemieux/Strauss) which premiered at Canadian Stage.

In 1991 Fides founded the interdisciplinary ensemble URGE; their final work is published by Playwrights Canada. In 2019 she launched the improvisational album Vanishing, created with Philadelphia guitarist Tim Motzer, and was praised for her “staggering range and control. Krucker’s voice is less an instrument than a force of nature.”

Fides taught voice at Humber College’s Theatre Performance program for 20 years and facilitates a wide range of International artists. In 2021 North Atlantic Books published her first book, Reclaiming Calliope: Freeing the Female Voice through Undomesticated Singing.
