Toronto City Opera is passionately committed to “Opera for Everyone”. We give emerging professionals the opportunity to perform principal roles in the classic opera repertoire. We give our community choristers the skills to perform in a fully staged opera. For our community we provide affordable access to grand opera. www.TorontoCityOpera.com
Opéra Queens presents classical music in “FULL COLOUR”: majority QTBIPOC+ in drag, gender-bent, and queerified! OQ reinvents canon works while commissioning new works by marginalized creators. OQ has performed coast to coast across Turtle Island from BC to the Maritimes and even in the UK! www.OperaQueens.ca
