The Arrata Opera centre is a 29,000 square foot facility set in the newly redesigned Wesley United Church on 7th Street SW. Its prime function is to support the education and the development of new opera works in Canada.
It also provides a very central and funky space for events, rehearsal, gatherings and productions. The rehearsal hall can occupy 175 people and the Nexen Gallery can accommodate 228. They also have a Studio and a greenroom for smaller groups. The Arrata also provides seating, lighting, and sound facilities and even has a costume and laundry shop for costume rentals. There are non profit rates that are very reasonable as well as corporate rates.
Because of their relation and the beautiful architecture of the previous historic church incarnation, Arrata can provide a unique venue for your special events.
