Subscriptions are now available for the VOICEBOX: Opera in Concert 2026/27 season.

VOICEBOX: Opera in Concert explores the singing voice in its purest form — stripped of sets, costumes and accoutrements.

Our company offers a new way of experiencing opera, one that unleashes the expressive power of music. We are experimental, raw and one-of-a-kind. 

We showcase a repertoire of rarely seen operatic works that resonate with present day audiences and provide a platform for emerging Canadian talent. Our performances are for music lovers who want to expand their horizons.
