Pop-Up Opera with OperaDelaware

OperaDelaware brings their talent and BIG VOICE ENERGY back to Freeman Arts Pavilion for a Pop-Up Opera performance! Whether you're a life-long opera fan or a curious newcomer, OperaDelaware has something for everyone. You'll hear recognizable melodies from opera's most beloved and timeless stories, and English translations will be provided so you'll understand every word!

Founded in 1945, OperaDelaware is the only professional opera company in the First State and one of the oldest opera companies in the country. For nearly eight decades, the company has built a legacy of artistic excellence, innovative programming, and deep community engagement. From early touring productions across the region to acclaimed festivals and intimate studio performances, OperaDelaware has continually evolved while remaining committed to making opera accessible, relevant, and reflective of the community.

In recent years, OperaDelaware has distinguished itself nationally through its bold reimagining of what an opera company can be. At the heart of this evolution is the Company Artist Model—a groundbreaking employment structure that shifts artists from short-term freelancers to salaried employees with yearlong artistic and administrative responsibilities. By investing in artists as full partners, OperaDelaware is creating a sustainable, community-centered path forward for the art form. For more information, visit www.operaDE.org
