Opera Ontario is pleased to continue its unique multi-city community mandate, offering a dynamic season which includes several Canadian operatic stars. Our performances run at Hamilton Place and Kitchener’s Centre In The Square. 

Our season opens with debut performances of Charles Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette, with Laura Whalen and John Bellemer in the leading roles October 15, 20 and 22 in Hamilton and October 28 & 30 in KW. 

The 20th anniversary of Popera™ Grande takes place on November 24 and 26 in Hamilton and on November 25 in KW.  Maestro Daniel Lipton will again conduct this evening with Tracy Dahl, Allyson McHardy, Gordon Gietz and James Westman as soloists.

The first Great Singers Recital in January brings Isabel Bayrakdarian and Russell Braun to the stage in Hamilton on January 22 and in KW on January 15.  This is sure to be the highlight of the arts season.

Verdi’s La Traviata closes the season with Jeanine Thames as Violetta and Marc Hervieux as Alfredo.

Follow your heart, come to the opera in Hamilton or Kitchener-Waterloo.
