What do we do?

Portland Opera To Go! seeks to provide children, educators and communities the opportunity to engage the magical, riveting, rewarding world of opera by producing high quality, accessible programming in communities throughout Oregon and SW Washington.  We seek to challenge assumptions about the opera and connect with audiences on a visceral level, through good humor, artistry and enthusiasm.  Each school we visit receives classroom time with ourtalented teaching artists and curriculum designed to meet Oregon Benchmarks and No Child Left Behind requirements.

Where do we go?

Each year we visit communities as diverse as Bend, Nehalem, La Grande, Prairie City—if there is a dot on the map where you live, we are willing to go there!  In addition we have embarked on another year's exciting partnership to bring opera to eight McMenamins locations, as well as concerts at the Elgin Opera House and Eastern Oregon University.  We hope that you will get the chance to experience the enchantment of opera with your children either at a McMenamins location or at the Hampton Opera Center.  We'll see you at the opera! Contact Alexis Hamilton, Manager of Education & Outreach for additional tour information.
