Set in the open air, the evening invites friends, families, and loved ones to gather among the Botanic Gardens, bring food, linger together, and settle in as opera favourites unfold. Featured soloists perform alongside the Edmonton Opera Chorus, sharing familiar works that feel at home in this setting. Longstanding and social by nature, Opera al Fresco returns as an end-of-summer tradition — a chance to be together outdoors before the season turns.
