Any story about a Roman emperor turning his star-counting lover into a god deserves a next level party.
So the Canadian Opera Company is charting a constellation of fashion, art, and opera for Operanation 2018, a mega-bash inspired by the upcoming world premiere of Rufus Wainwright’s Hadrian.
Now in its 14th year, Operanation will transform the opera house into an ancient Roman celebration, with pitchers of wine (there’ll be cocktails at the open bar), flowing lute music (Toronto’s coolest DJs), and the bountiful riches of the harvest (midnight snacks deluxe).
So don’t rest on those laurels: shake your stardust, love like Cupid, and party like Bacchus on May 17!
VIP Dinner is currently at capacity, but we are accepting names for a waitlist. To add your name, please contact Brianna Chase at 416-306-2309 or briannac@coc.ca.

Afterwards, guests will have full access to the festivities of Operanation.

Operanation is now in its 14th 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 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.
