Opera Anonymous: accessible opera that speaks your language.  Opera Anonymous was founded in 1994 by two singers, Nina Scott-Stoddart and Diane da Camara, with several aims in mind: 1. to give young singers opportunities to learn their craft through staged productions; 2. to make opera more accessible by performing works in English, in a theatrical way, and for a small ticket price; and 3. to work to remove the stigma of elitism that clings to the art form. To these were added Scott-Stoddart’s interest in contemporary opera. Da Camara left the company in 1995, and Scott-Stoddart continues as the Artistic Director.

Since its founding OpAnon has presented many staged productions, as well as opera-in-concert presentations of repertoire both arcane and traditional. Productions have included Menotti’s The Consul and The Medium; Stravinsky’s The Rake's Progress, the world premiere of Quenten Doolittle'’s The Leviathan Hook; the Canadian premiere of Carlisle Floyd’s Wuthering Heights; the English language world premiere of Joseph Quesnel’s Lucas et Cecile and Britten’s The Rape of Lucretia.
