Rehearsal Hall Rentals

Vancouver Opera moved into the Michael and Inna O’Brian Centre for Vancouver Opera in July 2011. During the 2011-2012 season, our first in our new home, we rehearsed all four main stage productions, our Vancouver Opera In Schools touring production, and full orchestra readings in the Martha Lou Henley Rehearsal Hall. All were met with great success.
