Build Connection. Build Creativity. Build Opera.
When you support Calgary Opera, you create meaningful experiences – on stages, in schools, and in community - that bring people together and remind us of our shared humanity.
YOUR GIFT, YOUR IMPACT
BRING OUR STAGES TO LIFE
Opera is more than just entertainment: it is a shared, emotionally immersive and reflective human experience that invites us to feel deeply, see differently, and rediscover our connection to one another. When you invest in Calgary Opera, you make possible more than 120 performances, events and programs that bring together more than 41,000 people in moments of shared empathy and understanding.
EMPOWER YOUTH
Give confidence, creativity, and empathy to more than 17,000 young people. Your gift supports programs that, through play, music, and storytelling, provide foundational experiences for children and youth that help them grow into thoughtful, engaged citizens who will be ready to lead, contribute, and help build a more connected and civil society.
"This was the most amazing experience in my 29 years of teaching! The students...had the opportunity to work together to contribute ideas to every single part of the opera...they took ownership and were more engaged than they were last year when we rehearsed and performed a winter musical." – Teacher, Panorama Hills School
LAUNCH CAREERS
Your investment provides coaching, mentorship, and performance opportunities that enable professional careers. Since 2005, the McPhee Artist Development Program has provided more than 100 emerging artists the opportunity to refine their craft, find their artistic voice, and gain the confidence to step onto the world stage. Your gift builds a vibrant cultural legacy, inspiring audiences and shaping the future of opera at home and abroad.
FOSTER CONNECTION
Your support brings people together with programs that enable connection, creativity, and community. Through shared experiences of music, storytelling, and exploration, individuals rediscover a sense of belonging and mutual understanding.
