BrottOpera was established in 2015 by the late conductor Boris Brott with the aim of filling the void left by the demise of Opera Hamilton.[4] What sets BrottOpera apart is its unique training program for emerging artists, as it's the only summer opera program in Canada that offers young singers the opportunity to perform alongside a full symphony orchestra.[5] This orchestra is the National Academy Orchestra of Canada, the country's sole professional orchestral training program.
Currently, BrottOpera is under the artistic direction of Tania Miller.[6]
