History
Tapestry Opera was founded in 1979 as a madrigal ensemble The Tapestry Singers.[4] In 1986 it renamed Tapestry Music Singers to reflect changes in the company's direction.[4] The company was re-branded as Tapestry New Opera Works in 1999 to reflect its dedication to the creation of contemporary opera, [4] but now operates as Tapestry Opera.
