What a music workshop looks like.

Tapestry — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 22:55:50 +0000

For a couple of snowy weeks this January a bunch of fantastic artists were hard at work in the Ernest Balmer Studio at Tapestry participating in the final music workshop for the short operas for Opera to Go 2009. Writers and composers have a chance to work with the director, music director, repetiteur and singing actors and to make final adjustments to the score. The director and designers have a chance to hear the music and see the performers and advance their own visions prior to the rehearsal period.

Click here to learn more about this year’s production which has its world premiere in late March at the Enwave Theatre, Harbourfront Centre. You can buy tickets here.

The reason for this Blog, beyond sharing news and pictures with everyone is to show a glimpse of everything that happens behind the scenes at Tapestry. As a company dedicated to new work, we spend a lot of time developing operas. So we might not have a production up in the theatre, but we almost always have something going on in the studio. this year we invited photographer Meghan Hall into the studio and here is a glimpse of some great Tapestry artists at work.
