See Yourself at the Opera

What's your opera story?

One of the greatest parts of attending a Canadian Opera Company production is seeing first-hand the impressive range of excited audience members who join us, night after night, to experience the incredible power of live opera.

For an upcoming campaign, we’re looking for a few people willing to share personal stories that reflect opera's transformative potential and the many ways it resonates with people of all ages and backgrounds.

Selected participants may have their photo, quotation, and/or name featured in outdoor advertising, social media, and on coc.ca. In exchange, selected participants will receive a VIP Night at the Opera package (including premium seating, members-lounge access, and complimentary refreshments) to any 2026/2027 opera of their choice, pending availability.

Thank you for your interest! Applications are now closed.

Hear from our participants!

Last fall, we launched this exciting campaign, with audience members just like you telling us what they love most about coming to the COC—whether it’s world-class musical artistry, unbeatable on-stage drama, or simply the electric energy of attending a night at the opera.
