'''Calgary Opera''' is a Canadian opera company based in [[Calgary]], [[Alberta]]. The company has its administrative base at the Mamdani Opera Centre, a {{convert|29000|sqft|m2|order=flip|abbr=off|adj=on}} facility in the Wesley United Church, since July 2005. The company gives its seasonal mainstage productions at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. During the summer, the company presents 'Opera in the Village', the only Canadian outdoor summer opera festival.

==HistoryStoria==

The company was founded in 1972 as the Southern Alberta Opera Association. The association initially performed two opera productions per year, from 1973 to 1977. Alexander Gray was the first artistic director of the Southern Alberta Opera Association, and held the post until 1976. In 1976, the association appointed Brian Hanson as both its general manager and artistic director. During Hanson's tenure, the association expanded its season to three productions per season, beginning in 1978. Hanson described his general philosophy of programming operas for the company as "something old, something new, something light".<ref>{{cite news | author=Kenneth Delong | title=Review: Marriage of Figaro is opera at its best | url=https://calgaryherald.com/entertainment/local-arts/review-calgary-opera-presents-marriage-of-figaro | work=Calgary Herald | date=2015-02-01 | accessdate=2017-03-06}}</ref>
