Opera Atelier Tickets

This was one of the most engaging and polished Opera Atelier's performances I have seen over the years. One has only to compare the directors' efforts to create a suitably authentic, yet currently accessible experience with the efforts of similar arts organizations sampled online to see how superior Opera Atelier's are from every point of view. The musical direction, sets, singing, dancing and acting in this production were superb. Best wishes for continued success over the years!

Gorgeous sets and costumes highlight outstanding singing and dancing. Top level performance all around. If lush, layered, Baroque productions are your thing, Opera Atelier delivers.

Superb production, as always! Collin Ainsworth is an astounding talent.

Good show overall. The smoke effect was a bit too much. Orpheus sounded a bit weak on some parts...

Beauty and charm. Gorgeous singing and ballet. Sumptuous scenery. Beautiful choir. Easy to buy tickets

It was a beautiful , emotional , entertaining performance . Very interesting to see a lot of classical dance movements in this baroque Opera . Moments of castrato notes and passages were as convincing as expected.

Great show and a wonderful performance by Measha Brueggergosman-Lee. It was wonderful to once again seeing a live performance. One concern is that face masks were not required. While I fully understand that in the province and the city face masks are no longer a requirement, and I agree with the vast majority of people that face masks are tiresome and annoying, it really was disconcerting to see so many people without masks all the while coughing and hacking on the people around them in the tightly packed seating. The safety of the audience needs to take precedence despite the annoyance.

Dido and Aeneas was such an incredible performance I was absolutely in awe of the talent. The dancers as well as the singers, the set design and costumes made such an amazing show. I would 100% recommend you to see a show from this company. It was a real pleasure to be privy to seeing this show!!

While Meghan Lindsay wasn’t my favourite ever Dido, she sang the role beautifully. I was hoping for more strength of character. Colin Ainsworth was a solid Aeneas and he balanced well a depth of feeling with a blind sense of duty. Measha Bruggesgossman was fabulously evil with wonderful comic sense of timing giving us satisfying schadenfreude. Chorus was good. The real stars of the show for me were Tafelmusik players. They’re playing with polished attention to detail and ornamentation they set they mood and gave the show vitality and dynamism.

The Elgin theatre was beautiful, the staff friendly and helpful , the pre opera chat informative , the staging simple and effective and the cast particularly Dido , the Sorceress and her minions excellent.
