As Canada's only repertory opera company, OPC is unique - reason enough to become a member! We perform more frequently than most other small opera companies (up to 20 times per season!). This allows members of our company unparalleled opportunities for gaining experience on stage, whether singing a lead role, a supporting role, or as chorus, while enjoying the thrill of taking part in one of the greatest operas ever written. 

The opportunity for singers to perform roles, multiple times, in fully staged productions is rare!

OPC is entirely self-financed. As such, OPC is not in receipt of any government grants, corporate sponsorship, or major private funding. We are collectively owned and operated by our members, under artistic director Richard Williams. 

Currently, rehearsals are held at

The Hall, on Thursday nights. 

7:00pm - 9:00pm.

Contact us for our rehearsal schedule if you would like to join!



 Membership Fees:

Currently, our membership fee is set at $50/mo.

This is paid monthly - it is NOT a drop-in fee. Monthly payments must be sustained, regardless of attendance (unless the singer elects to leave the company).

We have a "sponsorship" program for singers who wish to join the company but who find themselves in financial difficulty. This is an anonymous program. Simply speak to the Artistic Director to apply.

Duties and expectations of members:

- Active participation in set up and strike for every performance.

- Attendance at occasional "work-parties" to repair sets, or work on props and costumes, as necessary.

- Participation as chorus on nights that the singer is not scheduled to sing one of their roles.

- Regular attendance at weekly rehearsals. 

- Ongoing and consistent recruitment of new members.

- Ongoing and consistent effort to promote the company to potential audience.
