History

Tapestry Opera was founded in 1979 by Wayne Strongman, who was appointed to the Order of Canada in 2009.[3] It began a madrigal ensemble called The Tapestry Singers.[4] In 1986 it was renamed Tapestry Music Theatre to reflect changes in the company's direction.[4] The company was re-branded as Tapestry New Opera Works in 1999 to reflect its dedication to the creation of contemporary opera,[4] and now operates as Tapestry Opera. It is Canada's largest producer of contemporary opera.
