In the operatic field, she was, for four seasons, the Assistant Conductor to Richard Bradshaw for the Canadian Opera Company. She has guest conducted for numerous opera companies, including Tapestry Opera where she was nominated for a 2019 Dora Award for Music Direction of the world premiere of Shanawdithit by Yvette Nolan and Dean Burry. Thomson recently made her Vancouver Opera debut, conducting Gilbert and Sullivan’s H.M.S. Pinafore and will conduct the premiere of Pomegranate by Amanda Hale and Kye Marshall for the Canadian Opera Company in 2023.
