Opera Buddies

McDougall is very excited to partner with Calgary Opera to introduce Opera in this fun Intergenerational program.

Whether you’re 17 or 70, if you’ve ever been curious about opera, but unsure where to start or what to listen for, you’re invited to join Opera Buddies - an intergenerational opera discovery program for youth, adults, and older adults. You’ll connect with other lifelong learners of all ages interested in broadening their musical horizons or deepening their love of opera.

Each Opera Buddies session begins with two classes: an introduction to opera as well as a primer on the opera you’ll be going to see. You’ll learn what to expect at the theatre, as well as insights into what to watch and listen for at the show.

Then, come to the opera and watch the performance with a live orchestra, soloists, and chorus.

Make sure you register for the 2024 - 2025 season.
