Heroic Opera Company

Looking for a Director and a Music Director for our next production. Details on our auditions page, link in bio!

We're deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our friend and colleague John Arsenault. In addition to his amazing skills as a conductor and music director, John was also a skilled Tenor and professional flautist, as well as the very best of colleagues and friends. He performed or directed with countless companies, orchestras, opera, and so much more throughout the region.

John was Musical Director for Heroic Opera's production of Don Carlo. He was always kind, patient, and ready with a laugh or a compliment. His presence, skill, and warm personality with be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Thanks to Vancouver Is Awesome for the great feature on The Old Maid and the Thief!
