Help us kick off the next 50 years in style by supporting the Salute to 50 Kickstarter! Our goal is to raise $5,000 to offset the costs of production for this chorus concert on Nov. 23, at 7:30 p.m. at McDougall United Church. The concert will have current and former members performing opera's most powerful arias, from Edmonton Opera's last five decades.
Kickstarter is an online platform that allows organizations to fundraise for specific projects while providing unique and interesting benefits to its supporters. The project is only successful if we raise the full amount by the Nov. 11 deadline, so please consider a donation!

The Salome cast has arrived and the rehearsals are underway at the Jubilee rehearsal hall — it was fantastic to listen to director Waut Koeken and designer Yannik Larivée explain their vision to cast and production crew earlier this week. Our season-opening production is at the Jubilee Oct. 26 (8 p.m.), and Oct. 29 & 31 (7:30 p.m.) — please call the box office at 780.429.1000 for tickets or purchase online. If you already have a Halloween costume in mind, we would love to see it on Oct. 31 (no hats, please).
