Celebrating the 2024/25 Season’s Success with Support from Power Corporation of Canada

Our heartfelt thanks to Power Corporation of Canada for their generous support as a season production sponsor in the 2024/25 Season. Their investment made it possible to present two exceptional productions—The Elixir of Love and La Bohème—bringing world-class opera to the heart of Canada and enriching the cultural life of Manitoba. 

This season stood out as a triumph of artistic and emotional storytelling. The Elixir of Love delighted audiences with its comedic charm and lyrical beauty, featuring acclaimed performances by Andriana Chuchman and Jonah Hoskins. In the spring, La Bohème offered a moving portrayal of love and loss in 19th-century Paris, with standout performances by Suzanne Taffot, Zachary Rioux, and Charlotte Siegel. Both productions were traditionally staged and delivered with the high level of artistry that audiences have come to expect from Manitoba Opera. 

Thanks to Power Corporation of Canada’s sponsorship, Manitoba Opera was able to meet the demands of rising production costs while maintaining accessibility and artistic integrity. This support was especially vital as the company continues to navigate the post-pandemic arts landscape, working to rebuild and expand our audience base.  

In addition to the success on stage, Power Corporation’s contribution enabled Manitoba Opera to continue offering a wide range of educational and community engagement programming. These initiatives connected the company with students and opera goers across the province through student workshops, digital resources, and public events that encouraged conversation and connection through opera. 

Manitoba Opera is proud to recognize Power Corporation of Canada as a key partner in delivering a meaningful 2024/25 season. Their support underscores the vital role that corporate philanthropy plays in sustaining the arts and ensuring that opera continues to inspire, educate, and engage communities across Manitoba.
