“Over the nine days of our 3rd Vancouver Opera Festival (April 27 to May 5) we welcomed over 13,000 people of all ages to 51 different activities. The Festival is an opportunity to make opera more accessible by breaking down barriers and creating audiences of the future. Thank you to everyone who participated, to our donors, and to the whole team at Vancouver Opera!”
– Kim Gaynor, General Director, Vancouver Opera
“Cenerentola is a hilarious, action-packed romp.”
–Schmopera
“From the evidence of the two main productions, Gounod’s Faust and Rossini’s La Cenerentola, it would be easy to argue that this is the best Vancouver Opera Festival yet. Both works are handsomely mounted, well cast and effectively sung.”
–The Vancouver Sun
"I've never even seen a symphony, and now I'm a part of it as a soloist. It's pretty crazy."
–Mason Mantla, Tlicho soloist in The River of Light performance
“Thank you for a wonderful Vancouver Opera Festival experience! It is amazing to see firsthand how the Festival continues to grow and flourish each year. The productions that I witnessed were top-notch, and the crowds seemed robust and enthusiastic. Behind the scenes the opera staff I had the chance to work with were total pros, and most importantly they exuded passion for the event and for opera in general.”
