Lifelong Learning

Be inspired at any age! Our daytime Lifelong Learning programs are geared toward adults who might be feeling envious of our school-age programs.

Meet the team behind a new opera or ballet; hear a recital by a young musician on the brink of a professional career; take a backstage tour and experience the Jube from the performer's side of the curtain; meet a visual artist; learn about watercolour painting or collage and try your hand at creating a unique card or journal; learn about how our state-of-the art lighting and audio equipment creates magic on stage.

Exploring Stage Props with Waunita Simmons from the Calgary Opera

Waunita Simmons, Head of Props for the Calgary Opera, will talk about all the best parts of working in props. Did you know that prop masters spend a LOT of time in second-hand stores? Did you know that many props are “found objects?” (that’s fancy-speak for one man’s trash…). Waunita will go deep into these and other stage secrets as she shares how she prepared for the world premiere of the Inventor.
