Founder & Artistic Director
The timeless beauty and power of opera meets the energy and excitement of contemporary performance.
As a new opera organization based in the Waterloo Region, we are dedicated to presenting high quality operatic productions and fostering a deep appreciation for this timeless art form.
Our Mission
WE BELIEVE THAT OPERA IS FOR EVERYONE
Imagine Star Wars without John Williams, or Lord of the Rings without Howard Shore.
Music tells the story. We put the music on center-stage.
Opera is a magical art form, capable of transporting audiences to another world and stirring their emotions in ways that nothing else can. That's why we're committed to presenting high-quality productions that showcase the best of operatic styles and traditions, from classic works to contemporary pieces.
GRAND RIVER OPERA IS A RARITY IN THE OPERA WORLD.
