2015/16 SEASON
Program RATE CARD Advertising in the Edmonton Opera Program is the perfect way to reach a very desirable audience, and it also shows your support of the arts in your community!
PRE-SEASON (SUMMER) PROGRAM This pre-season program is certain to be a show piece that will help you gain exposure to a wide audience. Not only will it be handed out at the 6th Annual Opera al Fresco, at the Devonian Botanic Garden on June 19, but the vast majority of the programs will be mailed out to the Opera’s many subscribers, donors and sponsors.
EDMONTON OPERA 2015/2016 SEASON
A tantalizing plot bubbles below the light-hearted, waltzing melodies of The Merry Widow. Everyone is after the widow’s money, and comic attempts to marry her off to the “right” man during the Belle Époque in Paris culminate in a raucous can-can at Chez Maxim’s.
A dusty town centre and the clamour of the bullring come to the Jubilee stage in the form of a new production for Edmonton Opera’s Carmen, the epitome of scandal. Filled with Spanish heat and passion, Bizet’s work confronts audiences with all the emotions of the human condition, escalating to an inevitable murder.
In Maria Stuarda, the lives of Queen Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots, are interwoven in a desperate struggle for political power. Taking liberties with history, Donizetti charted the events that led to Mary’s execution, including the two formidable divas dueling over the tenor. Needless to say, sparks fly in the Alberta premiere of this bel canto opera.
