Executive Director

THE ORGANIZATION

Opera Atelier (OA) is a world leader in the creation of historically-informed productions of opera and ballet. OA productions are always built from the ground up with equal attention given to music, dancing, acting, and design. All of our productions are performed on period instruments.

While our core repertoire extends from Monteverdi to Mozart, we also explore fully-staged productions of later repertoire. In doing so, we set the pace with the finest international ensembles and conductors who are performing concert productions of Beethoven, Massenet and Debussy on period instruments in major venues to great acclaim. We are also committed to commissioning new music for period instruments, and the creation of original works.

For OA, the pivotal aspect of period production lies in the in-depth examination of the original intentions of composers, choreographers and librettists in order to find new ways to challenge ourselves as artists in the 21st century. A period production is not a museum piece; it is a new creation and takes its own place in history.

OA’s productions are performed in partnership with Tafelmusik, Canada’s internationally-acclaimed period-instrument orchestra. Since its inception, OA has promoted an exceptionally diverse group of Canadian artists in its work, and is committed to training the next generation of Canadian singers, dancers, designers, and technicians in the practices of historically-informed production through apprenticeships and extensive dancer/singer workshops.

Led by founding Artistic Directors Marshall Pynkoski and Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg since 1985 (recipients of the Order of Canada, and recently invested as Officers of the Order of Arts and Letters by the government of France), OA has garnered international acclaim for its performances in major venues and concert halls at home as well as in the United States, Europe and Asia. OA is committed to expanding the company’s audience and to making our productions accessible to a wide and diverse public through touring, community-based education programs and the creative use of media.

OA continues to evolve and takes artistic risks – always striving to reimagine opera and ballet as the ultimate form of storytelling for the 21st century.

Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (Banff Centre) exists to inspire artists and leaders to make their unique contribution to society and aspires to be the global leader in arts, culture, and creativity. Founded in 1933 and located in Banff National Park, Banff Centre’s history is the story of some of the most iconic and outstanding artists from Canada and around the world who have helped forge the Canadian cultural identity.

In January 2009, Alberta’s Minister of Advanced Education and Technology confirmed a mandate for Banff Centre as a specialized Arts and Culture Institution providing non-parchment, post-secondary education programs in the arts and creativity, as well as in leadership development, mountain culture, and the environment. As Canada’s leading post-graduate arts institution, Banff Centre offers intensive training and career development programs for emerging and established artists across all artistic disciplines, including opera, music, dance, film and media, mountain culture, visual arts, and Indigenous arts. As a champion of arts and creativity, Banff Centre Leadership programs prepare and empower leaders from a wide range of sectors to make an impact in a rapidly shifting world. Its programs integrate the power of the arts, the wisdom of Indigenous practice, and the extraordinary beauty of Banff National Park. Programs in the cultural, Indigenous, and corporate sectors connect participants with others who share their commitment to positive change in cultural institutions, Indigenous communities, businesses, non-profit organizations, and government.

Prior to the global pandemic, Banff Centre annually welcomed more than 3,500 artists and leaders in approximately 120 learning programs and more than 26,000 attendees participated in 360 conferences. Activities included more than 150 premieres, 50 commissioned artistic works, and 400 performances and events for approximately 80,000 audience members. Banff Centre’s performance facilities include the newly renovated 638-seat Jenny Belzberg Theatre, as well as the 246-seat Margaret Greenham Theatre, which consists of a studio space with a fixed audience rake, soft black masking, and a fixed grid in a venue that is used extensively for dance, drama, intimate music events, and meetings. Additionally, Rolston Recital Hall, with a maximum seating capacity of 226, has a natural acoustic setting in a venue that can be configured for performance or recording situations. From the stage, performers have an extraordinary view of the majestic mountain peaks, and its attached control room is used to record from the hall or Bentley Chamber Music Studio, which seats up to 100. The Club, with a total capacity of 161 or 120 seated, is a cabaret space with a low stage, flexible seating, limited backstage space, and a warm and intimate atmosphere. The Shaw Amphitheatre is Banff Centre's most majestic and engaging venue with a spectacular 360-degree view of Banff's mountain ranges and an open starry sky at night. In the heart of Banff Centre’s campus, the 1,700-seat outdoor amphitheatre is an ideal location for a post-session event or can be enjoyed from a private reception on one of the Kinnear Centre's terraces.
