Set 400 years into the future, Lalovavi is an Afrofuturist adventure that follows Persephone, the youngest daughter of the ruler of Atlas, the city formerly known as Atlanta. Currency and status in Atlas are determined based on the presence of Syndica, a gene that promotes vitality and longevity. When Persephone is found to possess a version of Syndica that confers immortality, she is betrayed by her family and must run for her life. She is thrust into an epic journey, uncovering a hidden past that leads her to discover love’s true meaning and the power to determine her destiny.

A visceral story of love, betrayal, and sacrifice, Puccini’s Tosca delivers operatic drama at its most electrifying. In Rome, poisoned by paranoia and shifting power, fiery diva Floria Tosca and her artist lover Mario Cavaradossi are ensnared by the ruthless police chief Scarpia, whose desire breeds cruelty and control. Fueled by Puccini’s sublime score—featuring “Vissi d’arte” and “E lucevan le stelle”—Tosca races toward a shocking, unforgettable finale.
