We invited the creative artists for Opera to Go 2010 to make short video statements about their experience creating new opera with Tapestry. We will be posting a series of these statements leading up to Opera to Go 2010 to give an inside scoop on the history of the pieces that you will be seeing next week.

Our first video statement is by Jill Battson, librettist for “Ashlike on the Cradle of the Wind” (composed by Andrew Staniland). Enjoy.

We posted yesterday about Tapestry Resident Director Tom Diamond’s production of Giulio Cesare at renowned music school at Indiana University. Click here to stream the entire production in HD.

If you only have time for some ‘best of’ clips, may we suggest:

Feb 27 cast:

(at 47:00) – the memorable aria Va Tacito sung by the countertenor Daniel Bubeck followed by the young Pilipino Bass Adonis Abuyen making a strong impact with Tu Sei Il Cor. 15 minutes.

March 6 cast:

(at 67:30 min) - with the enchanting Jacqueline Brecheen (nothing short of a ‘babe’) as Cleopatra and countertenor Andre Rader as Caesar. Play it thru the duet with French violinist, Romuald Grimbert-Barre. A 10 minute clip!
