Opera Mariposa is a critically-acclaimed company working to make opera more accessible for all. As Canada's first entirely, openly disability-run opera company, we are dedicated to creating inclusive opportunities for emerging and underrepresented artists, and have been recognized as "[one of] Canada's key indie players" (Opera Canada Magazine).
Since 2012, our productions have been hailed as "well-honed" (Opera Canada), "delightful" (Review Vancouver) and "a stroke of genius" (The Voice), while our annual Benefit Awareness events have raised over $115,000 for a variety of charities and healthcare programs. Our passion for accessibility has led us to offer a broad array of free events and digital offerings; we also bring audiences commissioned performances through our Repertory Concert Artist Program, and present interdisciplinary works through the Mariposa Theatre Wing.
