Valentine's Gala, 2011

Edmonton Opera and CapitalCare melt hearts at Valentine's Day Gala

On February 14, Edmonton Opera and CapitalCare hosted a premier Valentine’s Day Gala at the Shaw Conference Centre. Guests enjoyed the sights and sounds of the opera in an Aida-themed venue with entertainment provided by an opera chorus. The event saw an impressive number of guests, which included Lieutenant Governor Donald Ethell, Premier Ed Stelmach, Mayor Stephen Mandel and Gala Emcee, Honourable Gene Zwozdesky.

Edmonton Opera and CapitalCare added to the memorable evening by presenting a “Hearts, Minds and Music” video created for Kipnes Centre Veterans on Remembrance Day. The emotional and moving video examines the relationship between health and the arts and can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff654lKVLKE.

On behalf of both organizations, we would like to thank everyone who attended the gala and who made this event possible. We look forward to seeing you next year.
