Also, upon completion of your purchase, you will receive a confirmation email, and see the content appear in your Tessitura account right away.

Where can I access the performance?
You will access Portland Opera Onscreen productions through your Tessitura account. The link below will take you directly to your account's digital content page.
What about other video content?
Digital pass purchases will include any available clips, trailers, lectures, coffee talk videos, pre-show lecture videos, and post-show Q&A videos. If available, this content will be populated in the same page where you will find your digital performance (see "Where Can I Access My Content.")
Please note that Portland Opera Onscreen content is not interactive, and extra content varies from digital performance to digital performance.
How do I turn on captions and expand the content to full screen?
To turn on English captions for your digital performance simply toggle the "CC" button on in the lower right-hand corner of the video.
Videos can be expanded to full screen by selecting the four arrows in the lower right-hand corner. Select the gear icon to access video quality settings. We recommend selecting "1080p" for the best image quality.
Once expanded to full screen you can turn the volume up or down within the player.
I have questions or need technical support.
Our team is here to help! We are not available 24 hours a day, but will do our best to reply to your question for assistance as soon as possible. If you're having a hard time buying a digital pass, or accessing your content, please contact us.
