It was an article about one of the performers that tipped me off to the opera to be performed in our midst, at 918 Bathurst.
Here's a summary:
"Set in the late 17th century, Obeah Opera tells a story of life and work among women silenced by the most infamous 'witch-hunt' in history. Tituba and a handful of Caribbean women imported as slaves into the American colony of Salem are arrested and accused of practicing obeah! A healing art seen only as blasphemy and witchcraft through the eyes of the local Puritans."
Performances run Feb. 22nd to March 4th and tickets are $25/$30.
