It's all sunny days here in Vancouver!

We're looking forward to more opportunities to share space and community together. If the sun stays long into the fall, that will just be a bonus.

For now, let's just savour the sunlight of these long summer days!

Happy Fathers Day amongst a busy time around the world!

City Opera Vancouver is celebrating all of the ways that fatherhood can appear in our relationships, thinking back to our 2022 production of "Chinatown" which followed Saihin and Xon Pon's overlapping experiences of what it means to be a father.

5 things Tracy Dahl wants you to know:

1 - On career: "Be curious. Be prepared. Be you."

2 - On repertoire: "They are old friends — but even old friends can throw you a curve ball."

3 - On staying focused: "You need to stay in the game."

4 - On her voice: "It's just like exercise: use it or lose it."

5 - On memorable work: "We were all on a road of discovery together — and that made it really memorable."

The sun has arrived in Vancouver!

Although the majority of our season happens during the darker months, it's always an extra treat to perform while the sun is shining. Looking back at some moments from this past year, while the sun has joined us at a duet partner.

The real treat is always having the chance to get together and share in these moments of music and slowing down. We appreciate you support local art!

Considering joining us on Thursday, June 25 for an evening with Tracy Dahl?
Here's a preview of what you could experience up close in an exclusive setting with one of Canada's leading sopranos!

The program is a thoughtfully curated journey through the profound and the playful, with several works drawing inspiration from the atmosphere of the natural world—from the first light of a Strauss morning to the vastness of a prairie night. Tracy will sing songs by Richard Strauss and Canadian John Greer, as well as opera and musical theatre favourites that she's become famous for the world over.

Yesterday was the first Tuesday of the month without Opera Pub!
So...did you miss us? Because we missed you!

In the off chance that anyone showed up to Fabrique St-George expecting to be serenaded, we apologize for our absense. But, we're in full planning mode to bring you exciting new performances starting in the fall!
