Experience an evening of intense drama and heartbreaking melodies when Tosca takes over Southam Hall in a semi-staged production led by conductor Alexander Shelley and director Joel Ivany. Soprano Joyce El-Khoury—who “elegantly embodies the title role of Tosca” (Opera News)—leads an all-Canadian cast of singers featuring tenor Matthew Cairns as Cavaradossi, bass-baritone Nathan Berg as Scarpia, and members of Edmonton Opera’s Emerging Artist Program.

Step into the grandeur of the season with Handel’s Messiah, performed in the breathtaking acoustics of the Basilica of St. John the Baptist on December 5 & 6, 2025 at 8:00pm. Under the baton of conductor Christopher Gaudreault, the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra and the Philharmonic Choir of the NSO present this timeless holiday tradition, brimming with passion, power, and Hallelujahs.

Featuring a stellar lineup of soloists—soprano Claire de Sévigné, mezzosoprano Tessa Fackelmann,  tenor Angelo Moretti, and baritone Philip Addis—this performance offers both majesty and intimacy, perfect for first-time listeners.. From the tender strains of “He Shall Feed His Flock to the thunderous joy of the “Hallelujah chorus, this is a concert that lifts the spirit and stirs the soul.

Wagner's Siegfried, the third opera in Richard Wagner’s monumental Ring Cycle follows the coming-of-age journey of its titular hero Siegfried, a fearless but naïve young man destined to play a pivotal role in the fate of gods and mortals.  

Siegfried features the return of Jaclyn Grossman as the heroine Brünnhilde, the debut of 2024 Rumbold Vocal Prize winners Alex Halliday and Elizabeth Polese as Fafner and Waldvogel, and the highly anticipated return of Dion Mazerolle, reprising his acclaimed role as Alberich.
