Edmonton Opera Presents Verdi's Aida

Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2012

The fifth annual Alberta Culture Days happen next weekend, Sept. 28 to 30. Among the hundreds of events across the province, make sure to join the Edmonton Opera for a performance in St. Albert on Sunday, Sept. 30 at 2 p.m. in the square at the Enjoy Centre (101 Riel Drive, St. Albert). Other free family opera activities will also be happening in the Winspear Centre lobby at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Alberta Culture Days

Whether you have a couple of spare hours or plenty of extra time, the Edmonton Opera is always looking for volunteers to help with various projects, including administrative tasks, archives work or helping the community relations department. We are also always happy to have volunteers willing to help out during events, performing tasks such as front-of-house or working at the Will-Call table. For more information, please visit our website or email volunteer@edmontonopera.com.

Edmonton Opera brunch

Join us on Sept. 30 for brunch at the Sutton Place Hotel. Artists starring in Aida will perform selections at the first brunch of the 2012/13 season, featuring Egyptian-themed food. Make sure to purchase your subscriptions soon, as we had great feedback after moving to the Sutton Place Hotel last year, and this event often sells out.

Social events Storm the Stage and EO Film Series

Egypt comes to Edmonton early in the form of the 1963 saga Cleopatra, the first in the EO Film Series for the 2012/13 season. Join us at Metro’s Garneau Theatre Sept. 26 at 7 p.m., as throughout the season, we’ll be presenting films that relate thematically to each of our mainstage operas. And then, with Egypt on the brain, party on the set of Aida during Storm the Stage on Oct. 20, with operatic performances, two live bands and a fashion show.
