On October 6th, from 7:45 – 9:00pm ET Massey College Music Club presents Opera in the 21st Century – Tapestry Opera’s vision for beautiful and provocative musical theatre.
Artistic Director of Tapestry Michael Hidetoshi Mori will share his vision of revitalizing opera, and talk about the latest world premieres for the upcoming Tapestry Opera season – including a thrilling examination of artificial intelligence in a new work by Québec composer Nicole Lizée and librettist Nicolas Billon.
Hidetoshi Mori will be joined by rising star Midori Marsh, who will perform arias from Tapestry Opera’s collection of recent Canadian opera, as well as traditional repertoire that has established her as a soprano of note.
