Tapestry New Opera Works — Opera.ca

A long-term project of mine is moving forward this year. Tapestry New Opera applied for and received funding from Opera.ca to produce the first act of the opera I have been developing with librettist, Colleen Murphy. We’ll be involved in roundtable discussions on the opera in Toronto this spring, and I will be composing the music for one act of the opera, to be workshopped at the Banff Centre in August of this year. The act will then be fully produced in the first part of 2010. More details to follow as they become available.
