It’s not much of a secret that I’m a bit fanatical about new opera.  This year Tapestry has two really exciting looking premieres in Toronto.  Later in the year there’s Brian Current’s Gould’s Wall which, as an ex climber, I just have to see but first, in fact coming up next month, is RUR: A Torrent of Light by Nicholas Billon and Nicole Lizée.  It’s about robots and it’s a collaboration with OCAD U who are developing some way cool technology for the show.  There’s now loads of really good preview material about the show on Tapestry’s Youtube channel.  So I have two suggestions to make:

• Watch the Youtube videos
• Buy a ticket for the show before it sells out
