For nearly 60 years the Canadian Children’s Opera Company has empowered young people through professional-level training and productions that build artistry, confidence, and leadership.
Tuition covers just 30% of our operating costs, and every production, rehearsal, and moment of growth is made possible through community support.
Together, we can ensure that every young person who walks through our doors can Sing. Soar. Succeed.
Your Gift Will
Training & Coaching
Connect young singers with professionals working in Canada’s music, theatre and opera industries through meaningful year-long training and mentorship.
New Works & Productions
Support the development of new opera commissions and opera productions.
Youth Development & Accessibility
Enable young people from under-represented/under-served communities to join the CCOC through bursaries.
As we approach our 60th anniversary, we are entering an exciting new chapter – one that includes new commissions created for our choristers and expanded artistic opportunities that will shape their futures both on and off the stage.
Join us. Be part of what comes next.
“Stepping into this role has deepened my belief in the power and possibility of young voices—their willingness to take risks, to listen deeply, and to imagine boldly. The rehearsal rooms hum with possibility from the Butterfly Chorus right up through the Young Artist Studio. It is a privilege to help shape an environment where their voices can grow—and even more exciting to imagine the artists, bold thinkers, and brave collaborators that they will become. As a team, we feel tremendous momentum and possibility in the seasons ahead.”
