VISION
Art that resonates beyond the final note.
 

MISSION
Edmonton Opera brings the community together through meaningful artistic experiences that celebrate our shared humanity.

Founded in 1963, Edmonton Opera is dedicated to producing great performances that showcase the powerful emotions of opera to our community. Each season, we challenge ourselves to present familiar favourites in imaginative new productions and feature repertoire that audiences rarely get to experience live.
 

COMMUNITY
Beyond the stage, Edmonton Opera is committed to making opera accessible, exciting, and meaningful for our diverse community. We offer free events and performances throughout the year, and often collaborate with other non-profits and arts organizations to reach new audiences. We also share the magic of opera with young people through our Education Program, Student Dress Rehearsals, and Under 40 ticket initiatives. By practising consistent and focused community engagement, Edmonton Opera aims to establish the performing arts as an essential part of everyday life in Edmonton.

After a three-month international search, Edmonton Opera’s Board of Directors is thrilled to announce the appointment of our new Artistic Director, Joel Ivany. “Over the past 58 seasons, Edmonton Opera has built a proud foundation, and we’re in an opportune position to expand the ways in which we serve our community,” says Thomas Bradley, Board Chair. “The entire team is excited for a new era of opera in Edmonton, and we feel that Joel is the perfect person to lead the company into the future as we emerge from the pandemic.”
“Edmonton is very familiar to me and my family, and I’m incredibly excited and grateful to work at Edmonton Opera right here on Treaty 6 territory,” says Joel. “The last year and a half has shown us how opera is evolving and morphing into many other outlets. I’m hoping to embrace that change at Edmonton Opera while paying respect to where this art form came from. I think we’re going to embrace all that opera can be in the future.”
