Hamilton Director's Circle
Opera Hamilton presented its first two-production season in 1980-81, expanding the season to include a third full-length opera and the concert PoperaTM in 1986 and, in 1996 the company presented its first season in Kitchener-Waterloo.
For Opera Hamilton, a partner with Kitchener-Waterloo Opera in Opera Ontario, the company’s mission includes dedicated support for Canadian Artists and for the presentation of high quality opera, that engages and educates its audience.
Opera, however, is the most expensive art form to produce and while ticket sales and government support cover less than 60% of the costs, Opera Hamilton continues to rely on individual support.
