Ellie Fidler, whose unique
tapestries have been widely
acclaimed by interior
designers, architects and art
collectors throughout the
U.S. and Canada, brings
some of her most stunning
works to the PRESENTA-
TION HOUSE GALLERY
September 25th.

Fidler uses a 4000-year-old
technique known as
“soumak” to create immense
woven tapestries. This
ancient bas-rclief weaving
method) gives enormous
depth to the colours of her
hand-dyed wools, resulting
in cngaging images filled
with vitality.

Private collectors and
businesses snapped up a
number of Fidler’s tapestrics
during her August 1979 cxhi-
bition at Toronto's TD
Centre. Interior designers
and architects there enthu-
siastically applauded such
works as THE ESTUARY. a
10 x 13-foot image depicting
a delightful array of fish,
crabs, birds and dancers.
THE ESTUARY and a
number of Fidler’s other
striking tapestries will be on
display at the PRESENTA.

The acquired taste of opera

Did you’ know that
Vancouver has the largest
and most active Opera Club
in North America? ... that it
regularly attracts almost 300
people to its monthly
meetings and that 200
members and five directors
are from the North Shore? ...
and that as a result, this year
it will be forced to double
the number of its meetings to
keep pace with the 1emands
of opera buffs in Vancouver?

The Western Canadian
Opera Society’s “Opera
Club,” now entering its 7th
year, has almost 650 active
members. It is the brainchild
of Alan Aberbach, a charter
member of the Department
of History at Simon Fraser
University. Dr. Aberbach’s
infectious enthusiasm, chari-
smatic teaching style and
great depth and breadth of
knowledge about opera have
all combined to make the
Opera Club one of the most
successful organizations in
the city.

The Opera Club is didi-
cated to encouraging those
who know nothing about
opera to “give it a try” and
also to help those who have
already been bitten by the
Opera bug to learn a | ttle
more about their love. “he
Club is primarily an educa-
tional group and is not
associated with the perform-
ing company, the Vancouver
Opera Association, nor with
its fund-raising arm, the
Opera Guild.

Each month, almost 300
people turn out to hear
knowledgeable hosts
discuss, with musical
illustrations, a wide variety
of operatic topics. From
time to time the parent
“Western Canadian Opera
Society” mounts special
series of lectures on such
topics as “An Introduction to
Opera,” “The Metropolitan
Opera Season” or “The

Operas of Richard Wagner.”
These lectures are given in
association with an educa-

Semor
Citizens

$4 00 Otiscournt

tional institution, such as
Simon Fraser University or

Vancouver Community
College, and _ frequently
these may be taken for
credit.

Other activities reinforce
this generally educational
theme. The Club operates a
lending library of complete
operas on cassette, where
members may study (or just
plain enjoy) new operas at
home. A monthly newsletter
“Ensemble” keeps members
up to date with develop-
ments in the world of opera
and announces the = up-
coming program for the
Club.

The annual scholarship
program, organized by
Mezzo Soprano Audrey
Glass, has done much to
assist up-and-coming local
singers. Tours to each per-
formance of the Seattle
Opera are provided and
members have also visited
the Bayreuth festival in
Germany and a tour is
planned to the Santa Fe
festival in 1981.

Before each production by

the Vancouver Opera, a
special “Preview Intro-
duction” program is

provided for the general
public at the Robson Square
Media Centre.

This year, the success
story of increasing interest in
the Club reaches a new
chapter: Demand for these
activities has grown so large
that at several of last year's
meetings, the 300 seat audi-
torlum at Vancouver Com-
munity College's Langara
Campus was filled to over-
flowing. The Opera Club has
been forced to duplicate
each of its monthly lecture
programs this year.
