Opera Duo packages

Opera Duo packages remain on sale until the last day of The Magic Flute, Feb. 5, 2015! These packages are a great way to experience two very different operas this season — Mozart's epic adventure The Magic Flute and Donizetti's dramatic tragedy Lucia di Lammermoor. Opera Duos start at $76, with savings up to 20% compared to single tickets — call the box office at 780-429-1000 or visit edmontonopera.com to purchase an Opera Duo package. 

Magic Flute

Mozart's The Magic Flute opens in three weeks! The Saturday night performance is nearly sold out, but great tickets remain for the Tuesday and Thursday performances. With warm spice tones, this visually stunning set and costumes is perfect colour therapy during Edmonton's long winter. Soprano Teiya Kasahara returns to Edmonton (Tales of Hoffmann,  February 2013) in her signature role as Queen of the Night, and soprano Jessica Muirhead returns to Canada as Pamina after five years of singing in Europe. The blog at edmontonopera.com will be updated over the coming weeks with plenty of behind-the-scenes material.

New space at Tix on the Square

The space at Tix on the Square is looking a little bit different these days! Over the holidays, renovations started to move both the Edmonton Opera box office and the Tix on the Square booth into the middle of the space, which will result in more efficient service for patrons of both organizations. Thank you for your patience if you are visiting the box office in person or calling to purchase tickets at this time. Don't forget tickets can also be ordered online at edmontonopera.com.

Remembering Irving Guttman

Irving Guttman, known as the father of Western Canadian opera and the founding artistic director of the Edmonton Opera, passed away on Dec. 7, 2014. In addition to lengthy tenures at Manitoba Opera, Vancouver Opera, Saskatchewan Opera and Calgary Opera (sometimes simultaneously), Guttman was instrumental in Edmonton Opera's history. His memory will be honoured during our production of The Magic Flute, with a lobby display and playbill mention. If you would like to share memories of Irving for these purposes, please reply to this email or communication@edmontonopera.com before Friday, Jan. 16, 2015.
