Founded in 1972, Calgary Opera’s Mission is:

“To Engage our Audience and Enhance our Community through the Magic of Opera.”

Since its inception, and especially in the past decade, Calgary Opera has made a name for itself as a company that is committed to the development of Canadian talent and the development of new opera works.

Calgary Opera has an annual operating budget of over $5 million with a subscription base close to 3,500 and total attendance over 80% capacity.

Over the past decade creating new works and building new productions has been a cornerstone of the company.

Calgary Opera has presented seven world premieres, four Canadian premieres, and many company premieres.

Advertising in the Calgary Opera Program is a wonderful way to heighten your exposure and achieve greater visibility in the arts community, and specifically to fans of the opera.

With performances taking place in the Mainstage Series of the 2015/2016 season, your audience reach is well over 27,000 people. All performances take place at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, which seats approximately 2,400 people, except for Opera in the Village, which takes place on RiverWalk Plaza in East Village.

Calgary Opera’s third annual summer festival, Opera in the Village, featuring The Mikado and matinees of The Scorpions’ Sting, is Canada’s only outdoor summer opera festival.

Take A Bow! For any Full Page/Full Season advertisers, you will receive a pair of tickets to each of the four productions in the Mainstage Series which take place during the 2015/2016 season. (Value of approximately $830.00!)

This is our way of saying thanks, and also, a way for you to enjoy an opera performance, and at the same time, you can see your advertising in action!

Each issue of the Calgary Opera Program will be displayed online at playhousepublications.ca in an easy-to-read digital version. This means your advertisement will be seen FREE of charge online and when you click on your ad, it will link right to PUBLISHERS your website.
