welcome to Opera On

the Flipside​

At Flipside Opera & Art Song Collective, we believe that opera is about shared experience. Song brings us together by telling stories of the everyday experiences that make us human.

Flipside curates compelling, immersive vocal theatre experiences with exceptional performers in
low-barrier environments. Our goal is to tell truth through song.

Flipside is thrilled to join forces with another women-led organization to present this concert, The Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg.

Flipside Opera gives a new twist on [the] classical music genre.

CBC News

I am more grateful than I can say…to see my songs performed by artists who understand them from the inside out and who can pass their full message on to an empathetic audience.

Musical Director Lisa Rumpel played the piano with skill and panache, partnering the singers superbly and holding everything together on scores that were far from simple.
