Join us in watching this new opera film from OperaQ, a Toronto-based independent opera company dedicated to amplifying queer and trans voices, co-founded by Ryan Patrick McDonald, a member of our Civic Engagement Quartet, and Camille Rogers.
A new chamber opera with text by Charlie Petch (Mel Malarkey, Daughter of Geppetto, Why I Was Late) and music by Colin McMahon, Medusa’s Children explores themes of family, loss, sexual violence, and toxic masculinity through a trans and queer lens, drawing on the aftermath of the Medusa myth to tell a story at once dark, tender, and whimsical.
