I am currently celebrating 10 years For over 50 years, Edmonton Opera has brought a variety of operatic works to the stage, honouring the classics while Photo by Reed Hummell, Nashville also creating Opera imaginative new worlds for characters to inhabit. Our 2016/17 season upholds this commitment, taking you on a journey through the
E
dmonton Opera’s 1996 production of Turandot was my first experience working behind the scenes in opera. Twenty years later, I can’t think of a bigger or better way to open our season than Puccini’s epic final masterpiece! In addition to familiar favourites like Turandot and Cinderella, we’re also proud to be presenting the Alberta premiere of Strauss’s challenging and thrilling Elektra. Don’t miss your chance to experience the stories of three very different princesses reimagined by three musical geniuses at their creative peaks.
