Announcement: 2 for 1 Tickets for the May 28th, 29th, and 30th Performances of The Shadow, Tapestry New Opera Works

Tapestry new opera works is offering 2 for 1 tickets for the May 28th, 29th, & 30th performances of The Shadow at the Berkeley Street Theatre, Downstairs (26 Berkeley Street)

There are only a few more chances to see critically acclaimed production of The Shadow.  Set in Barcelona at the turn of the twentieth century, The Shadow is a tale of intrigue, desire and deception.  In this world premiere, writer Alex Poch-Goldin and composer Omar Daniel have created a world of duplicity in which a humble postman assumes the identity of a wealthy suitor to win a woman’s love.  Determined to maintain the ruse at all costs, he is haunted by The Shadow as he spirals deeper into debt – an allegory for our time.

The creative team lead by director Tom Diamond and music director Wayne Strongman includes a stellar cast featuring renowned Canadian baritone Theodore Baerg making his Tapestry debut as the Don and Allegra’s father, countertenor Scott Belluz is The Shadow, soprano Carla Huhtanen as Allegra, a comic turn by tenor Keith Klassen as the waiter and baritone Peter McGillivray as Raoul.  Veteran Stratford lighting designer Robert Thomson and set and costume designer Camellia Koo, have created a stunning visual world reflective of Gaudi’s Barcelona.
