The Canadian Opera Company closes its 2022-23 season with the world premiere of Pomegranate by composer Kye Marshall and writer/librettist Amanda Hale, a love story between Suli and Cassia that time-skips between a women’s temple in ancient Pompeii to a Toronto lesbian bar in 1981 after the city’s infamous bathhouse raids, starring mezzo-soprano Adanya Dunn and soprano Danielle Buonaiuto (MM ’12, Voice). Pomegranate runs June 2, 3, and 4 during Pride Toronto 2023 at the Canadian Opera Company Theatre in Toronto.
