Canadian Children's Opera Company

Canadian Children's Opera Company

Since its founding in 1968, the CCOC has grown from a single chorus to a company that expands over six choruses, reaching hundreds of young people and their families annually through its outreach initiatives, professional self-produced operas, commissioning new operas specifically for young voices, and performances and collaborations with other renown artists and leading arts organizations in Canada – including regular appearances with the Canadian Opera Company, and major recording projects like The Monkiest King by composer Alice Ho (2018).

Nurturing young people’s growth and development in becoming confident, kind, empathetic, community-minded, and curious humans, deepening their interest in opera, music and storytelling, and empowering their voices, drives our work. 

During a young person’s time at the CCOC they work alongside professional conductors, drama coaches, directors, collaborative pianists, and other guest artists as they explore the many facets of opera. They unlock the power of their voices while learning how to sing healthily and expressively; developing strong vocal, performance, and musicianship skills; and journey towards their full potential by learning about themselves and the world around them through storytelling and music. 

The CCOC has a deep and rich history of providing exceptional music education and performance opportunities for young people from all walks of life. We can’t wait to share our full story with you soon.
