Toronto: Tapestry Opera presents “Jacqueline”, an opera about Jacqueline du Pré, February 20-23

Friday, January 24, 2025

We are thrilled to bring Jacqueline back to Toronto following an incredibly successful run at West Edge Opera in San Francisco last summer.

Jacqueline explores the meteoric rise and tragic fall of Jacqueline du Pré through her relationship with her cello. Who is the much-admired Jacqueline when the one thing that most defines her is taken away by multiple sclerosis?

Brought to life by two contemporary virtuosi, celebrated soprano Marnie Breckenridge plays Jacqueline, and former du Pré protégé and world-renowned cellist Matt Haimovitz plays her constant companion, her cello.

It feels very fitting to start our 45th anniversary season with this moving show, one of the most popular in Tapestry's repertoire, five years (almost to the day!) since its premiere in February 2020.

We can't wait to see you there.
