Introducing OperAtlantic

A new professional opera company comprised of passionate local artists based in Kjipuktuk / Halifax

​

In the early days of summer 2023, a group of friends met over iced tea and cookies. A plan began to hatch: a plan to perform more opera together. A plan to present opera in fun, new, unexpected places and to share our operatic love with anyone who wants to listen.  And as they say, the rest is history!

​

So here we are - Andrew Pelrine, Tara Scott, Suzanne Rigden, John David Bogardus - we are OperAtlantic!

​

We are brimming with big operatic ideas, new possibilities for stories to tell, artists to feature, and venues to explore.

​

To the Vocal artists, we can't wait to collaborate with you. Opera fans, we can't wait to perform for you.  And Opera newbies, we can't wait to call you friends.
