Opera Pub

Have you heard this one? A group of opera singers, a pianist, and an eager audience walk into a bar. Everyone has a great time.
Your favourite arias and ensembles are on tap at this casual, wild night, featuring performances from this year’s participants in Summer Opera, a program that offers skill-building and practical experience for singers, composers, conductors, and more.
As in past years, Opera Pub will inject the Banff Legion with a lively, cabaret-style atmosphere—not to mention unforgettable high notes. It’s the perfect introduction for newcomers, and a refreshing new take for opera vets who want something a little different.
Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity is excited to bring together world-renowned musicians, artists, and writers, as well as passionate audiences for the 2026 Banff Centre Summer Arts Festival. Running throughout May to September, the 2026 festival invites audiences to experience a season of artistic discovery of over 100 free and ticketed events.
