In the Exhibition: Lady Rokujo Costume from "No No Miya"

Costume for Lady Rokujo in "No No Miya," designed by Julia Tribe, Tapestry Music Theatre

Now on view in our "Welcome to the Museum" exhibition is the costume of Lady Rokujo from "No No Miya," an opera presented in Toronto in 1995 and inspired by the classical Japanese Noh play "Aoi no Ue." Created by composer Rudolph Komorous and produced by Tapestry Music Theatre, the piece reimagines a centuries-old tale from "The Tale of Genji," blending Japanese theatrical traditions with Canadian operatic storytelling. This production followed an earlier version first staged in Vancouver in 1974, commissioned by the Vancouver New Music Society. The 1995 staging was part of the "Today’s Japan" program at Harbourfront Centre.
