What does it take to sing onstage at the Jubilee Auditorium, and in opera houses around the world? In all cases, beyond technique, it requires vulnerability, optimism, and tenacity. Be inspired by expert vocal coaches at work with members of Calgary Opera’s McPhee Program and university singers.

Everyone is welcome - students, teachers, and the public!

This lively comedy is filled with charming characters and set against a backdrop reminiscent of Italian film stages, capturing the essence of William Wyler’s Roman Holiday with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. It combines elements of farce with deeper emotions, making it one of the great humane comedies in opera.

Both premiering in 1918 amidst the aftermath of World War One and the Spanish Flu pandemic, these two one-act operas reflect the era’s disillusionment and existential questioning in very different ways. Bluebeard’s Castle delves into the human psyche, while Gianni Schicchi combines comedy with the opera world’s most famous aria, “O mio babbino caro.”
