Shoestring Opera Tickets

Founded in 2004 and based in Toronto, Shoestring Opera presents intimate, accessible opera experiences for children and families. With a compact ensemble of four performers—soprano, baritone, pianist, and cellist—the company crafts 45-minute operatic adaptations that make classic stories engaging for young audiences without sacrificing musical depth. We’ve got you covered for poignant storytelling, live theatre, and outreach that brings opera into schools and communities.

From the stage to the classroom, Shoestring Opera combines artistry with accessibility, offering a welcoming entry point to the world of opera for kids and their grown-ups.

Upcoming public engagements include a May–June school tour featuring The Schoolyard Carmen, a July 12, 2025 appearance at Melville United Church in Fergus (Elora Festival), a July 23, 2025 performance at Walter Hall for Toronto Summer Music, and an October 19, 2025 show at the Isabel Bader Centre in Kingston (The Schoolyard Carmen).
