Based in Toronto, Shoestring Opera comprises four musical artists (one soprano, one baritone, one pianist and one cellist) bringing the glory and magic of opera to school children and families. Since 2004, the company has performed to sold-out audiences across Canada, successfully adapting classic operas in an exuberant, child-friendly format with an emphasis on storytelling and musical excellence.
Shoestring Operas are 45 minutes long, are accessible, relevant and a stretch to the imagination. Most of their opera are available in both English and in a bilingual (French-English) version. Glorious music, madcap humour and great storytelling. Irresistible to all ages!
