A Heartfelt Thank You &
A New Chapter for Our Valentine’s Gala

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Love is a Gamble, Edmonton Opera’s 2025 Valentine’s Gala!

It was a spectacular evening filled with music, celebration, and generosity, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who spent their Valentine’s Day with us in support of opera in Edmonton. Your presence and contributions help ensure that this art form continues to thrive in our community.

This year’s gala also marked a special moment in our history. We were honored to announce that, going forward, this event will be known as the Dianne Kipnes Valentine’s Gala, named in memory of one of Edmonton Opera’s most dedicated supporters and champions. Dianne’s passion for opera, philanthropy, and community-building helped shape the future of our organization, and we are proud to carry her legacy forward through this cherished annual tradition.

More images from the evening will be coming soon — stay tuned!

Thank you again for making this night unforgettable.
