Opera Atelier is an opera/ballet company committed to creating historically-informed productions that are realized as complete artistic statements – always built from the ground up with equal attention given to music, dancing, acting, and design. All of our productions are performed on period instruments.

For Opera Atelier, the pivotal aspect of period production lies in the in-depth examination of the original intentions of composers, choreographers and librettists in order to find new ways to challenge ourselves as artists in the 21st century. A period production is not a museum piece; it is a new creation and takes its own place in history.

The core repertoire extends from Monteverdi to Mozart, and also explores productions of later repertoire. In doing so, OA keeps pace with the finest international ensembles and conductors who are performing productions of Beethoven, Massenet and Debussy on period instruments in major venues to great acclaim.

Opera Atelier’s productions are performed in partnership with Tafelmusik, Canada’s internationally-acclaimed period-instrument orchestra. The Nathaniel Dett Chorale is also often featured in OA productions.

Yorkminster Park is synonymous with magnificent music. Whether it’s the choir accompanied by the majestic Casavant organ, our Memorial Carillon, or the congregation lifting their voices in hymns of praise, vocal and instrumental expressions of faith are integral to the Yorkminster Park experience.

We present free organ recitals at 12:30pm, every Wednesday from September through June, and have recently started a series of carillon recitals in the summer months.

We have a wide variety of unique musical events throughout the year, but Yorkminster Park is renowned for its special seasonal concerts.
