We were delighted to hear that the world premiere of the opera R.U.R. A Torrent of Light was the WINNER OF SIX 2022 DORA MAVOR MOORE AWARDS! Hurrah!
We were so pleased to once again work alongside the brilliant and award-winning scenic and projection designer Cameron Anderson to do set construction, structural engineering, carpentry, and scenic painting for this stark and futuristic sci-fi-inspired opera set designed by for R.U.R. A Torrent of Light at Tapestry Opera in Toronto, Canada.

This two-story opera set features practical stairs supported by a steel superstructure and Hollywood flat construction, with integrated projection screens and monitors. Fully engineered to be modular for international shipping and load-in through 64” wide double doors.

The world premiere for this opera adaptation was inspired by Karel Čapek’s 1920’s science-fiction play Rossum’s Universal Robots – which introduced the word “robot” to the world.
