Holiday recipes alla Rossini
The composer of Cinderella was also a huge foodie, and used his sizeable opera paycheques to indulge in fine dining from across Europe. He even befriended famous chefs who made special dishes in his name, resulting in a line of "alla Rossini" recipes!
Read our latest blog post to get exciting recipes for epicurean delights, Rossini-style. Not only are these gloriously gourmet, they also make for excellent conversation pieces at your holiday party. Rossini has your cocktail needs covered too!
Immerse yourself in the vintage charm of the 1950s as we present a free screening of Roman Holiday starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck at the Garneau Theatre. Much like our high-fashion production of Cinderella, this film is full of romance, comedy, and mistaken identities.

Rehearsal hall funding announced
On December 20, MP Randy Boissonnault visited the Edmonton Opera facility to announce Federal funding for the renovation of our rehearsal hall through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund. Also in attendance were MLA David Shepherd and arts leaders from the city.
We are very thankful to federal, provincial, and municipal funding bodies for their contribution — the renovated facility will be a great space for the Edmonton arts community to use for rehearsals, scenery builds, and more!
Welcome Freewill Shakespeare Festival!
As a result of facility renovations, we are now able to share our space with local arts organizations like Freewill Shakespeare Festival, who have moved their administrative office to our building!
Not only that, Freewill's productions will also be built and rehearsed at our facility. The Bard and opera make quite the combination, and we are very excited about this partnership!
