This one act opera, in its Canadian premiere, features an ensemble of string quartet, piano, and clarinet, all of whom are members of The Royal Conservatory’s renowned ARC Ensemble. A celebrated soprano, famous for her rendition of Mahler’s love song, Liebst du um Schönheit, develops early onset Alzheimer’s. The drama follows her (mezzo-soprano Blythe Gaissert) and her pianist/husband (baritone Kelly Markgraf) as they confront their new reality. The tragic end-result resolves in a new, elevated understanding of their love.

This concert was originally scheduled for January 16, 2021.
