2025/26
SEASON
What we do best: opera on the big stage. This season, let an iconic classic wow you, and our beyond-the-stage events inspire you.
HANSEL AND GRETEL
Puppets. Breadcrumbs. Trickery.
Experience all-ages eye candy, featuring the handcrafted wonder of Calgary’s Old Trout Puppet Workshop in Hansel and Gretel. Let beautiful music and the soaring voices of Cantaré Children’s Choir sweep you into an enchanted realm where imagination comes alive.
Sharp razors. Sharper wit.
Pairing Olympic-level singing with comedic brilliance, this classic farce has all the ingredients for laughs: a hopeless romantic with no game, a whip-smart young woman outwitting a crusty patriarch, and the world’s most famous intro song—"Figaro?" Anyone?
BEYOND THE STAGE
Opera singers let loose in our Spring Cabaret, MAR 13-14, 7:00 PM at the Mamdani Opera Centre.
Tenor Ryan Nauta, current member of Calgary Opera’s McPhee Artist Development Program, takes the stage with pianist and Calgary Opera Head Coach Emily Hamper to present Leoš Janáček’s quasi-operatic song cycle, The Diary of One Who Disappeared.
Brunch just got more beautiful. Our next Up Close & Over Easy is MAR 29, 11:00 AM at the Calgary Petroleum Club.
