General Director

THE ORGANIZATION
 
Calgary Opera is a well-governed, fiscally sound, community-rooted, and artistically vibrant organization with an international reputation for artistic innovation and excellence.
 
On the mainstage, Calgary Opera produces a subscription season of three full-scale operas at the 2,400-seat Jubilee Auditorium, complemented by a series of opera-related events, school programs, and community development experiences.  
 
Calgary Opera presents Canada’s only outdoor summer opera festival (Opera in the Village), which brings opera to over 9,000 locals and tourists in Calgary’s burgeoning community of East Village for an opportunity to enjoy lighter musical fare, such as Candide, The Mikado, and South Pacific.
 
The company’s Emerging Artist Development Program is one of only three designated annual National Training Programs in Canada to be funded through Canadian Heritage.  The program, offered to eight singers annually, acts as a bridge between post-secondary graduate education and the professional opera world, providing the experience and practical skills necessary to succeed as a self-employed professional in a highly competitive international environment. The Emerging Artists also present a Second Stage full production of smaller chamber plus Christmas at the Opera each season.
 
In just the past 15 seasons, the company has presented six world premieres, six Canadian premieres, and many company premieres.  Filumena, by John Estacio and John Murrell, and commissioned by Calgary Opera, is now the most produced Canadian opera ever.  Calgary Opera’s most recent Canadian premiere of Die tote Stadt, by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, received rave reviews and attracted audiences from across North America and Europe. In addition, Calgary Opera has designed and built many new productions and partnered with other opera companies in the development of new productions.
 
Education programs are an essential component of Calgary Opera’s work, enriching the experiences of current patrons and building audience for tomorrow through outreach to students and young people.  Let’s Create an Opera takes the magic of opera into Calgary schools, giving children the chance to write and present their very own operas to Calgary audiences.  The Opera for All program offers performances for those ordinarily not able to experience live opera, and our For Students Only Dress Rehearsal provides thousands of students with deeply discounted tickets to mainstage productions.  The Opera in Schools Tour brings one-act operas performed by the company’s Emerging Artists into schools across the province.
 
Calgary Opera has presented in recital some of the great international artists such as Renée Fleming, Anna Netrebko, Jessye Norman and Ben Heppner to name only a few.
 
In 2015, Calgary Opera announced a unique partnership with the Calgary Stampede that will see the Calgary Opera move from its current administrative and rehearsal home in the Mamdani Opera Centre to the Calgary Stampede’s new Youth Campus, creating an inspiring gathering place for performing arts training and performance for youth.  Calgary Opera will build a 45,000-sq. ft. Opera Community Arts Centre, which will include public space, a 350-seat rehearsal and performance space, classrooms, practice, halls, full shops for the creation and building of sets and costumes and administrative offices.  The new Opera Community Arts Centre will enrich the Youth Campus with 70 percent of the Centre’s space being used as shared space servicing more than 160 community organizations.  The new Opera Community Arts Centre is scheduled to open in 2020.

 
 
THE POSITION
 
The General Director provides overall artistic and administrative leadership to Calgary Opera. The General Director is responsible for achieving the Opera’s goals for artistic excellence, audience development, fundraising, financial sustainability, and community engagement. The General Director sets the artistic vision, including the selection of repertoire, artists, and other creative and educational programming.  Equally important, the General Director provides leadership on all administrative and financial matters including budgeting, contract negotiation and management of human resources.  Reporting to the volunteer Board of Directors, the General Director oversees a staff of approximately 20 full-time employees, and a budget of $5.5M.
 
The General Director is the chief spokesperson for the company, and represents Calgary Opera at home and abroad.  The General Director engages with a wide range of stakeholders, including: municipal, provincial, and federal levels of government; other arts organizations; major donors; corporate sponsors; artists; community partners; and the Board.
 
 
THE LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY
 
For the past two decades, Calgary Opera has been ably led by the highly-acclaimed W.R. (Bob) McPhee, CM.  With the recent announcement of Mr. McPhee’s retirement, the company is embarking on the search for its next General Director.
 
You recognize this rare opportunity to take a strong arts organization and make it stronger:  to develop and implement the strategy to propel Calgary Opera forward.
 
We are seeking an exceptional leader:  a person with a compelling vision of opera as a vital force in a thriving city.  We are looking for an Impresario with a track record of artistic innovation, business acumen, and administrative excellence.
 
The ideal candidate will be an experienced leader of the performing arts with a record of success and expertise in fundraising, accompanied by strong interpersonal and relationship building skills and proven management ability in all aspects of company administration. As well as profile-raising and leadership, you will provide strategic and financial direction for the company and will report to and work closely with the Board of Directors and its Chair.
 
You are a bright and astute personality who is an accomplished leader with energy, vision and enthusiasm. You love opera and the performing arts, but equally you love people and connect easily with them, be they staff, artists, stakeholders, or members of the community. As such, you will be both leader and ambassador for the company – building and sustaining positive relationships with the Board, staff, subscribers, volunteers, artists, patrons, media, the local community and peer-level arts organizations. You are driven to lead an institution that thrives on all fronts and to provide the support needed by your staff to achieve their goals.
 
As the public face and spokesperson of Calgary Opera, you will raise the company profile and grow its importance both locally and nationally. You will strive to promote Calgary Opera as a nationally-recognized opera company and a highly sought-after destination for singers and opera patrons throughout Calgary, Canada, and beyond.
 
You have a keen sense of the opportunities and challenges facing the opera world and the performing arts sector in general:  changing demographics, new ways for audiences to consume entertainment, rising costs, limited government support, volatile corporate sponsorship, and increased competition for recreational spending.  These challenges invigorate you:  you have a vision for opera as a vital, relevant part of the city in the 21st century, and the tenacious creativity to implement that vision by galvanizing the team and community around you.  You take the greatest satisfaction by creating the sustainable conditions for artists to express themselves and for audiences and communities to be enriched through the magic of opera.
 
 
THE COMMUNITY
 
Calgary is a major economic and cultural centre in Canada. Calgary’s population exceeds 1.2 million, has a large contingent of young, well educated and entrepreneurial people who are community minded and generous.  The number of volunteers in Alberta exceeds the national average.  Calgary attracts human and economic capital from across Canada and around the world.  It is a place where people value quality of life, and appreciate an array of wellness, recreational, educational, and social services opportunities.
 
Calgary Opera is one of the city’s “cornerstone” arts organizations, along with Alberta Ballet, Alberta Theatre Projects, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, the Calgary Folk Festival, the Glenbow Museum, One Yellow Rabbit, Theatre Calgary, and Theatre Junction.  Calgary has two universities, and has the highest concentration of head offices in the country, as well as the highest personal income per capita in Canada.
 
Calgary Opera has enjoyed a long-term partnership with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and is supported by the Calgary Opera Chorus chosen from the list of 60 community singers who audition for positions annually.
