Diffusion, Opera + Multidisciplinary presenters
Diffusion is a national initiative designed to open up touring and presentation opportunities for smaller-scale opera and opera-adjacent works in communities across Canada that traditionally lack access to live opera.
Led by the Association for Opera in Canada, the project builds relationships between independent opera creators and multidisciplinary presenters, leveraging existing regional touring networks to introduce high-quality, equity-driven new opera to audiences beyond major urban centres.
By fostering understanding between the opera and presenting sectors, Diffusion aims to create sustainable pathways for touring contemporary opera that reflects today’s diverse artistic voices.
This program is made possible thanks to the Canada Council for the Arts Seed Grants
