Opera 5 is opera that makes sense. We appeal to a broad audience, and speak to a wide range of tastes. Our production of Poulenc’s La voix humaine took home the Capital City Critics’ Choice Award for Best Overall Production at the 2013 Ottawa Fringe Festival. The company’s innovative approach to opera has attracted international attention from online and print media such as Maclean’s Magazine, The National Post, The Huffington Post.com, Jezebel.com (Gawker Media), and has been highlighted by BlogTO among others.

Opera 5 seeks out opportunities to spread knowledge and appreciation of the operatic medium. We have created two symphonic productions that introduce people to the world of opera. These shows have been performed with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, as well as the Kingston Symphony. We hope to inspire new audiences to become tomorrow’s opera lovers.
