Tapestry Opera is a professional theatre and opera producer that creates and produces for the heart of the here and now. In addition to producing a concert and chamber opera season, Tapestry has become an international crossroads for diverse musical and dramatic artists inspired to contribute to the creation and evolution of new opera.
Adanya joins Tapestry Opera’s 30th Anniversary LibLab as one of five featured performers in this celebrated opera creation lab. Held at the new Nancy & Ed Jackman Performance Centre, LibLab pairs four composers with four librettists for an intensive 10-day development period in July, guided by composer James Rolfe and director Michael Hidetoshi Mori.
Adanya collaborates alongside soprano Reilly Nelson, tenor Keith Klassen, baritone Jorell Williams, and pianists Jennifer Tung and Hyejin Kwon to bring brand-new short operas to life. Select works will be further developed and performed in a public showcase in October.
Tapestry Briefs: Under Where? is a collection of ten hot-off-the-press opera shorts that take audiences on an immersive, tragic, absurd, and beautiful journey. This intimate production features the work of eight dynamic Canadian creators—composers Rebecca Gray, Saman Shahi, Roydon Tse, Keith Klassen, and Prokhor Protasoff, with librettists Rachel Gray, Sarah Henstra, Keith Klassen, and Christene Adina Browne.
