I really enjoyed the music production, and the actors were phenomenal in their acting and singing. The fact that this was a bilingual production was a pleasant surprise!

Thank you for this option!! I like bringing my entire family with me, but I can’t afford tickets for everyone – pay what you can means that I can buy tickets for my adult kids and their significant others, and introduce opera to people who wouldn’t go on their own.

Dana Hudson

“I hope that Opera Kelowna’s Studio Production Program continues to make ripples in their community, to showcase new Canadian work that are challenging in theme and presentation, and to continue to make meaningful opportunities for artists.”

Sean Guist

“When our audiences needed solace and comfort the most, Opera Kelowna raised up to the challenge. They presented wonderful programs of vocal music which were accepted with gratitude by our local audience both in 2020 and 2021, when most other Canadian classical music organizations were silent.”

Natalia Polchenko

Artistic Director, Okanagan Associate of Classical Music Enthusiasts

“Opera Under the Stars is consistently one of our favourite summer moments to look forward to and to remember fondly. Gathering on the lawn, under the stars, surrounded by friends and community to be entertained by truly talented artists has become a tradition that we are so grateful to have access to in the Okanagan.”

Heather Gainforth

“At DTEC, we strongly believe in being good neighbors and contributing to the community. Supporting Opera Kelowna is our way of giving back and nourishing our Okanagan community through the arts. Part of DTEC’s Corporate Culture supports Education and Mentorship in many forms. We are proud to match funds that are raised to support and elevate people on their journeys towards professionalism.”

June Nicolay

President and Managing Director

“The arts need funding, and even more so during the time of COVID. We are pleased and honoured to be able to do our part.”

John McEwen & Rosalie Elliott

“Even one show will have you sold on the incredible impact that the live experience of this art form provides.”
