UBC Opera Ensemble

The University of British Columbia Opera Ensemble was founded by Canadian lyric coloratura, Nancy Hermiston, in 1995. Beginning with a core of seven performers, Ms. Hermiston has built the program to a 90-member company, performing three main productions at UBC every season, seven Opera Tea Concerts, and several engagements with local community partners. The Ensemble's mission is to educate young, gifted opera singers, preparing them for international careers. Past main-stage productions have included Le Nozze di Figaro, Die Zauberflöte, Die Gärtnerin aus Liebe, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Suor Angelica, La Bohème, Dido and Aeneas, The Merry Widow, The Bartered Bride, Manon, Eugene Onegin, Florence Lady with the Lamp, Dreamhealer, Falstaff, Don Giovanni, Cendrillon, Albert Herring, and the Western Canadian Premiere of Harry Somer’s Louis Riel. In the 2011-2012 Season, the Ensemble presents Robert Ward’s The Crucible and Lehár’s Die Lustige Witwe (The Merry Widow) in the renewed Old Auditorium, and Dvořák’s Rusalka in the Chan Centre.
