Accommodation
Opera NUOVA arranges on and off campus accommodation for all participants enrolled in the Intensive Opera Programs. Participants can choose to stay in Residence, or can be placed with a Billet host family located elsewhere the city.
RESIDENCE
The King’s University Apartments are furnished group accommodation adjacent to the campus building. There are six private single rooms in each apartment with a shared kitchen and living room. The kitchen is supplied with basic utensils. There are two bathrooms in each apartment. The Apartments include access to paid laundry facilities and free parking. Opera NUOVA will assign rooms based on gender and consider roommate requests. Due to COVID-19, Participants and Faculty staying in residence will be grouped together on two floors of one residence building to avoid cross-contamination with other groups that may be present on campus. Typically Opera NUOVA is the only groups using the residences at The King’s University during this time.
Residence is requested and paid separately from tuition.
BILLET HOST FAMILIES
At this time the availability/possibility of Opera NUOVA having Billet homes to provide is unknown due to COVID-19. Applicants should be budgeting to stay in residence at this time. There is no charge to stay with a host family, but participants are expected to buy tickets/ticket packages for their host family to attend their Festival performances. All host families supply a private, furnished room, shared or private bathroom and access to shared kitchen and living facilities. Linens are supplied. Some host families can host more than one participant. Roommate requests will be considered. As our hosts are located all over Edmonton, participants staying with host families should have their own means of transportation. Billeting is not available to participants in the Ten-Day program.
Students may also opt to make their own accommodation arrangements and stay with friends or family living in the Edmonton area.
