A ground-breaking, lesbian love story about Suli and Cassia, who seek to express their love for each other freely in the face of impossible odds. As the time-shifting narrative moves from a women’s temple in ancient Pompeii to a Toronto lesbian bar in 1981, the orchestral music alters as well, from harp accompaniment to electric piano.

The couple struggles to repair their love in the face of homophobia and an impossible ultimatum, while fragments of memory endure, revealing a transcendent love for the ages.

Pomegranate by Marshall, K., From (2023/2023), Directed by Jennifer Tarver,, Conductor Rosemary Thomson, Canadian Opera Company Theatre (Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Opera Ce, Toronto, Canada
