Tapestry Opera is just one month away from its first large-scale production in its new home at Nancy & Ed Jackman Performance Centre.

Sydney, a Sumatran elephant poached from the jungles of Indonesia at a young age, recalls her remarkable life in captivity, far from home, as her keeper of 22 years leads her on a journey toward sanctuary. A dynamic weaving of opera and dance unearths friendships lost and found and restores stolen freedom. The power of memory and the wonder of communication in the human and natural worlds resonate in this moving new production that audiences will never forget.

This one-hour performance is an "opera for all ages" and the perfect evening out for the whole family - there's a performance date and time that will work for you!
