Pomegranate
June 5-9
June 5-9 // The Chamber // $30 – 50
Pomegranate is a chamber opera about the endurance of love over time. A harp conjures up ancient Pompeii in 79 CE where Suli and Cassia fall in love. Vesuvius erupts. Two thousand years later, in a Toronto lesbian bar an electric piano evokes the 1980s. Cass fights with Suzie over her coming out to her conservative refugee family. In a final duet in the ruins of Pompeii, the lovers count the years of their passion in pomegranate seeds. The rich resonance of three cellos, a flute and oboe underscore this tragic tale of lesbian love.
