AUDIENCE IMPACT REPORT

Thanks to the inspiring support of our community, the Canadian Opera Company has been able to respond to the public health and safety demands of this challenging time with innovative new ways to bring music into patrons’ homes, wherever they are in the world.

In the report below, you will learn more about what our partners, members, subscribers, donors, and audience members have continued to make possible, from community performances and new concerts created especially for this time, to our first-ever virtual watch party, which proved that we can still experience the joys of opera with our fellow music lovers.

While this is an often difficult time, we are finding silver linings in the accessibility and artistic intimacy that we can provide through these new digital stages. Many of our online participants are experiencing opera for the very first time through these new programs, concerts, and events — and I would like to thank all of our audience members for helping us welcome new opera lovers into our community.

Given the many successes enclosed in this report, we look forward to continuing to share these kinds of digital initiatives to complement our usual programming, even after we are able to safely return to live performances with in-person audiences.
