A Family Story, Drawn from Memory.

Fun Home

October 1-4, 2026

Winner of five Tony Awards, Fun Home is a moving, funny, and deeply human musical based on Alison Bechdel’s celebrated graphic memoir. As an adult, Alison looks back on her childhood, her relationship with her brilliant and complicated father, and the moments that shaped her understanding of family and identity. Moving between memory and the present, Fun Home captures the joy, confusion, humour, and heartbreak of trying to know the people closest to us.

The holiday tradition you’ve been waiting for is BACK!

White Christmas

December 17-30, 2026

Two celebrated performers. Two talented sisters. One Vermont inn in need of a Christmas miracle. features some of the most beloved songs in the American musical theatre canon, including “Blue Skies,” “Sisters,” “Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep” and the timeless title song. Set within the historic Capitol Theatre at Fort Edmonton Park and filled with romance, sparkling comedy and dazzling dance, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas is a joyful celebration of friendship, generosity and the magic of gathering together.

Consider yourself one of us!

Help An Artist Say Yes.

Help remove the financial barriers that prevent promising singers, performers, directors, stage managers, designers, technicians, and craftspeople from participating in NUOVA’s annual Festival.

Our 10 Second Autobiography

There are two things we love to see: an emerging artist unleashing their passion and talent on stage, and an audience arrested by a transformative performance.

We exist so both of those things can happen.

NUOVA Vocal Arts provides world-class training to performers, while also filling our communities with unique events, unforgettable performances, and fantastic festivals.
