ABOUT THE PROJECT
Building upon the successful collaborations of the past two seasons, Portland Opera is excited to continue forming annual partnerships with Portland-based artists. These wonderful reciprocal relationships enhance both the artist’s and the opera’s oeuvres, and most importantly contribute to the revitalization of our city and region’s fine and performing arts landscape.
