Because I wasn’t going to be busy enought this week… I’ve been volunteering this week with Tapestry New Opera Works for their “Opera to Go” show.

When I have time, I’m going to figure out a way to distill the beautiful heap of drama that is these five short operas into a blog post, but for now, I wanted to mention:

This is new Canadian opera, performed on a world-class level but in a manner that is less like a performance, and more like you spent a a lovely evening drinking wine and listening to a bunch of world-travelling friends telling tall tales.

Also, they call their volunteer ushers “tour guides,” and we get to wear bright orange safety vests.

Performances continue tonight through Satuday. You should go.
