Calgary Opera
Cantaré Children’s Choir has enjoyed a long and rewarding association with Calgary Opera. Our collaboration has been a huge benefit to both organizaitons. We provide prepared, attentive and focused boys and girls of varying ages who are excellent musicians; we, in turn, are welcomed into a professional organization that gives us the opportunity to share our singing (and acting) skills in an exhilarating environment (costumes/sets/props) while learning about the operatic art form and the music and stories of the great operas. In addition, all choristers in our program have the opportunity to attend the Dress Rehearsal for Calgary Opera productions. We have participated as performers in the following operas:
