A NEW SERIES: STREAMING LIVE FROM OUR ARTISTIC HOME!

As part of Portland Opera’s reimagined 20/21 season, the Live from the Hampton Opera Center series features opera artists who call Portland and the PNW “home.” These performances will spotlight artists we’ve celebrated together on the Portland Opera stage—with two former Resident Artists, Katrina Galka and Camille Sherman; local composer and Portland Opera Artistic Advisor Damien Geter; as well as two recent guest artists Martin Bakari and Vanessa Isiguen.

Each hour-long performance will be broadcast live from the Hampton Opera Center, Portland Opera’s home in Southeast Portland, where featured artists can follow health and distance protocols, reviewed by the company’s medical advisors, to ensure safe performance practices without an in-person audience. Pianists will include Nicholas Fox, Jessica Hall, and Kira Whiting.

Women in Political Life is a recital focusing on the stories of Eleanor Roosevelt, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Mary Todd Lincoln, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, and Barbara Bush.
