The Overcoat: An Opera is one of our most exciting projects to date, as it combines Morris\u2019s unique style of physical theatre with a masterful new score by James Rolfe. It\u2019s a great honour to partner with two major pioneers in new Canadian works: Vancouver Opera and Canadian Stage. Together we\u2019ll bring this bold venture to life, spurred along by the original creative team and a tradition of innovation inspired by the 1998, The Overcoat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The creative team includes Morris Panych (librettist\/director\/creator), Wendy Gorling (movement\/creator), Ken McDonald (set design), Alan Brodie (lighting design), and Nancy Bryant (costumes).<\/p>\n<p>The production will premiere at the Bluma Appel Theatre during Tapestry Opera and Canadian Stage\u2019s 2017\/2018 season in March 2018. It will then be presented by Vancouver Opera as part of its second annual Vancouver Opera Festival.<\/p>\n<p>A year is a long time to wait&#8230; but we&#8217;ll be there next March, with a full review.<\/p>\n<h3>For more CLASSICAL MUSIC NEWS, visit\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.musicaltoronto.org\/category\/scoop\/\" target=\"_blank\"><u>HERE<\/u><\/a><\/span>.<\/h3>\n<h3><b><i>#LUDWIGVAN<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A major step forward for Tapestry Opera was announced today, with a new partnership with Vancouver Opera and Canadian Stage for a production of a new full-length opera The Overcoat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":43331,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[6439,39,43,63],"tags":[631,4699,9481,5079],"yst_prominent_words":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/The-Overcoat_Photo-Robert-Catto.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9bakr-bgN","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43325"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43325"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43325\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43333,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43325\/revisions\/43333"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43325"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=43325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
