== History ==
Approximately six amateur opera companies pre-date the Edmonton Opera’s founding in 1963. After Mrs. J.B. Carmichael’s death in 1964, singers who had been involved with the Edmonton Operatic Society approached local pianist and voice teacher Jean Letourneau about working with them.〔http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/en/article/edmonton-opera-emc〕 After a number of successful productions, the group changed its name to the Edmonton Professional Opera Association, with David Ker as the first president and Letourneau as the music director. “Professional” was dropped from the company’s name in August 1966, as the then-artistic director, Irving Guttman,〔http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/articles/emc/irving-guttman〕 argued that it should be obvious to all if a company is professional.
The first season, 1963/64, featured two productions: ''Madama Butterfly'' in October 1963, and ''Cavalleria Rusticana'' and ''Pagliacci'' in April 1964. In 1966, Letourneau convinced Guttman, then at the Vancouver Opera, to come to Edmonton. The artistic director from 1966 to 1998, Guttman would be a part of all four Western Canadian opera companies — Vancouver (founded 1958), Edmonton (founded 1963), Manitoba (founded 1969) and Calgary (founded 1972).
Until 2008, the opera guild was one of many forms of support for the opera. Founded by Thelma Gregg, the group held many successful fundraisers and ensured everyone backstage was well-fed.
