Alberta Opera

Alberta Opera

Alberta Opera, based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, is the major touring Theatre for Young Audiences company in Alberta. It has been presenting original musical theatre adaptations in schools in British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta since 1984 and its repertoire includes such fairytale favourites as "Rapunzel", "Puss in Boots", "Cinderella", "Sleeping Beauty", "Rumplestiltskin", "The Frog Prince", "The Red Shoes", and the Elizabeth Sterling Haynes Award-winning "Jack and the Beanstalk". Besides exploring traditional themes with contemporary eyes, Alberta Opera offers 16 students the chance to actively participate in each production as actors and stagehands.

The company moved to its current office near Grant MacEwan College's City Centre campus in 2006 and it has established itself as one of the finest and most engaging educational production companies in Canada, presenting performances to over one million people since its inception.
