The Opéra de Montréal is exceptionally opening the doors of its costume workshop to welcome the ARIA – Women in Harmony Circle, a new initiative by Opéra de Montréal, created by and for women.
✦ ARIA’S MISSION
To bring together committed women who wish to dedicate their generosity, influence, and voices to meaningful initiatives. By creating a space for dialogue, learning, and action, ARIA fosters tangible philanthropic engagement for the benefit of the arts and the community.
✦ DIVE INTO THE WORLD OF ARIA
Meet our extraordinary guests—inspiring women and leaders in their respective fields. Be moved by captivating performances by residents of our Atelier lyrique, discover the progress and concrete impact of the community project supported by ARIA, and enjoy a cocktail reception in a unique setting conducive to networking and connection.
Every moment has been designed to inspire you, bring people together, and turn inspiration into action alongside other dedicated women.
✦ GIVE VOICE TO THE UNHEARD
In 2026, thanks to the support of the ARIA Circle members, the Opéra de Montréal is collaborating with a women’s shelter in Montreal to give a voice back to those marginalized by society. Through art, these women rebuild self-confidence, break isolation, reclaim their place in society, and reveal the power of their creativity and resilience.

This membership grants you access to three exclusive events each year. For each event, you may invite a woman from your network to join you. She is invited to attend her first gathering complimentary to discover ARIA and, should she wish, become involved alongside you.
