The mission of Cowtown Opera Company is to increase the number of opera enthusiasts in Calgary by providing fun and interactive opera experiences. Whether it’s a Random Act of Culture in a mall or one of our wildly entertaining shows, Cowtown Opera is breathing new life into an art form that has traditionally been misunderstood and stereotyped as elitist and boring (cue tumbleweed).
Cowtown Opera strives to provide entertaining yet educational performances that holler “Calgary!” with their special brand of western flavour. Unafraid of satire and poking fun at opera’s “over-the-top”, melodramatic storylines, Cowtown Opera is creating an exciting forum in which to feature local talent as well as showcase established and up-and-coming artists.
Come check out what Cowtown Opera has to offer, but don’t be surprised if you leave an opera lover!
