La compagnia è stata fondata nel 1972 come Southern Alberta Opera Association. L'associazione inizialmente eseguì due produzioni operistiche all'anno, dal 1973 al 1977. Alexander Gray fu il primo direttore artistico della Southern Alberta Opera Association e mantenne la carica fino al 1976. Nel 1976 l'associazione nominò Brian Hanson sia come direttore generale che direttore artistico. Durante il mandato di Hanson, l'associazione ha ampliato la sua stagione a tre produzioni per stagione, a partire dal 1978. Hanson ha descritto la sua filosofia generale di programmazione di opere per la compagnia come "qualcosa di vecchio, qualcosa di nuovo, qualcosa di leggero".<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>
