About Manitoba Opera
Manitoba Opera was founded in 1969 by Justice Kerr Twaddle and a group of individuals dedicated to presenting opera to Manitobans. One of the five largest performing arts organizations in Manitoba, Manitoba Opera is the only full-time professional opera company between Toronto and Calgary that presents staged productions with full orchestra.
Manitoba Opera (MO) produces two fully staged productions annually in the 2,161-seat Manitoba Centennial Concert Hall. MO regularly tours to city schools and occasionally to other regions of the province. The company also offers a rich array of educational programing in schools and community centres.
