What is Opera Quest?
Opera Quest is a paid performance and training opportunity for emerging singers to explore all aspects of opera production. Through auditions, selected singers will join a creative ensemble to rehearse and premiere a new original opera at the Victoria Conservatory of Music, performed in the stunning Alix Goolden Performance Hall.
Participants receive mentorship from top industry professionals in music and stage direction, choreography, design, lighting, sound, and arts entrepreneurship—gaining hands-on experience and valuable credits for their professional résumés.
This opportunity is made possible by the generous support of RBC Foundation and NRS Foundation.
