On May 16 the COC will turn the page,
Of fairytale stories for next year’s opera stage.
Inside this glass palace of music and light,
Solve a riddle, grab a libation and dance through the night.
Experience mystery, adventure, and places afar,
Secret gardens, a candy house and voices of opera stars.
Wear your whimsical best and prepare to set sail,
And join us in the spring for Operanation: Tall Tales.

Operanation is now in its 15th year! An event for all arts enthusiasts and the opera-curious, Operanation is equal parts party and performance as it combines diverse art forms and musical styles in a way that is both innovative and accessible. The party has earned accolades from arts and culture outlets and has become a must-attend event in the city’s cultural calendar.
At the main event, guests enjoy live performances featuring the COC’s Ensemble Studio performing in collaboration with a contemporary popular musical artist. Past performers have included Brave Shores, Kiesza, Dragonette, Nelly Furtado, Sam Roberts Band, Arkells, Yelle, and Broken Social Scene.
Operanation is a community-oriented initiative, with 100% of proceeds going towards the COC’s Ensemble Studio, the nation’s premier training program for young Canadian opera artists. Ensemble Studio artists enrich our cities, neighbourhoods, and towns by performing at schools, community centres, and other public spaces in the course of their training, making Operanation a truly effective way of generating positive artistic experiences with significant social and cultural benefits.
Over 90% of Ensemble Studio graduates are enjoying successful careers in their chosen opera/theatre specialty.
