Original job description

ABOUT OPERA ATELIER

Opera Atelier is North America's leading opera/ballet company dedicated to creating period productions realized as complete artistic statements, with equal attention given to music, dancing, acting, and design. With productions performed in partnership with Tafelmusik, Canada's premier award-winning baroque orchestra and chamber choir orchestra, Opera Atelier has had a more extensive international touring schedule than any other music organization in Canadian history, taking fully-mounted productions to venues of great distinction, including the Salzburg Festival, La Scala and the Royal Opera House in Versailles.

At the heart of Opera Atelier is the belief that period performance is not a museum piece but a point of departure for creativity, reinvention and contemporary storytelling. The company combines rigorous research and respect for original source material with artistic innovation, creating productions that speak meaningfully to audiences today.

Opera Atelier is equally committed to developing and mentoring the next generation of Canadian artists while also expanding access to opera and ballet through education, community engagement, touring and digital initiatives.

As Opera Atelier enters its next chapter, the organization is seeking an accomplished Executive Director to support the artistic vision of the company's Founding Co-Artistic Directors Marshall Pynkoski and Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg while working in partnership with the Board of Directors and team to build upon the company's unique artistic vision.
