Rise Up! Weekends presents 'A Divas Opera Christmas!'
December 17th, 2021 at 7:30PM at The GRAND
Divas Opera is bringing the joy, togetherness and Christmas spirit back to Calgary with their concert, ‘A Divas Opera Christmas’. Presented by Rise Up! Weekends, with support from the Calgary Arts Development and the City of Calgary, the Divas will be singing all of their favourite Christmas Carols, including all of the online gifts they gave to Calgary virtually in 2020. The evening will have all of the gowns, quick costumes changes, and high quality music that Divas Opera is known for, while also creating a wonderful sense of Christmas spirit! Joined by Carlos Foggin on piano and the Rocky Mountain Trombones, the evening will be one not to be missed. Even Santa Claus has promised to stop by the concert during his busy holiday season!
Knowing how difficult the pandemic has affected our community, Divas Opera has committed to give proceeds from every ticket sold to the Calgary Women's Emergency Shelter.
You can also donate online

No one should go without during the Christmas season
and this is our way of giving back.
Tickets are just $25 for General Rush Admission
& $15 for 12 Years and under
