Opera Atelier

Opera Atelier is an opera company, based in Toronto. It was founded in 1985. The company produces baroque operas and ballets from the 17th and 18th centuries, presented in venues based in the Canadian city of Toronto's Theatre District. They perform their productions at the Elgin Theatre.[1][2]

Patricia Barretto served as executive director from 2011 to 2015. The company has performed baroque operas in New York, Houston, Stuttgart, Bremen, London, Singapore, Seoul, and Tokyo, and at the Glimmerglass Festival and Chateau de Versailles, France. Opera Atelier received a number of Lieutenant Governor's Awards for the Arts before these were discontinued in 2003.[3]

Opera Atelier presents two operas per year and tours internationally every two years. They use period instruments, sets and costume designs reflecting the epoch's aesthetics.

Opera Atelier has collaborated with other music organizations in Toronto, including the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra (Opera Atelier's pit orchestra for performances at the Elgin Theatre) and the Royal Conservatory of Music. The organization also benefits from funding from the Toronto Arts Council.[4]
