7 short operas including a Bravo!FACT film have their world premiere at the Enwave Theatre in February as part of Harbourfront Centre’s World Stage 2008. Tapestry’s fourth installment of Opera to Go explores the world we live in (at its best and worst)! Crossing disciplines, the programme includes electronic music, video and puppetry. An outstanding group of writers and composers bring the changing face of opera to an array of contemporary stories.

Acclaimed opera professionals Wayne Strongman (Music Director) and Tom Diamond (Stage Director) pilot a returning ensemble of singing actors, Carla Huhtanen, Keith Klassen, Jessica Lloyd, and Calvin Powell, and a chamber orchestra through comedy, tragedy and romance – all that opera can offer, in a string of 15-minute shorts!
