PERFORMED ON TORONTO’S WATERFRONT, DRAGON’S TALE CELEBRATES THE ORIGIN OF DRAGON BOAT RACING.
Dragon’s Tale dives into the rich and sometimes tense dynamics of first and second-generation immigrants, exploring the fable of Chinese poet Qu Yuan as a foil to the journey of a young Chinese-Canadian woman Xiao Liang and her ailing father. Dragon’s Tale bursts with soaring music, song and storytelling, spanning continents and generations.

Created by the world-renowned team behind Tapestry Opera’s smash-hit Iron Road, composer Chan Ka Nin, one of Canada’s most accomplished Chinese-Canadian composers, and award-winning playwright and librettist Mark Brownell. Directed by Tapestry Opera’s Artistic Director, Michael Hidetoshi Mori, with Musical Direction by David Fallis.

All seating is general admission. Please arrive 15-30 minutes before the performance for the best seats. All performances are at Harbourfront Centre Concert Stage. Please allow additional time to reach the venue. This is a free outdoor public performance on Toronto’s waterfront: please dress for the weather and bring layers for cooler evenings next to the water.
