Portland Opera Concert Tickets
Feast your ears on a night at the opera, Oregon-style when you buy Portland Opera tickets at TicketSmarter. All things considered, the Portland Opera is one of the world’s newer opera companies despite the fact it was founded in 1964. The company was founded by a single man, conductor Henry Holt, who served as General Director for the opera’s first two years of existence. The inaugural Portland Opera season only featured one performance, which was Strauss’ Die Fledermaus. Over the years since its inception, the Portland Opera has not shied away from presenting new ideas. In fact, it was an early adopter of the practice of projecting translated lyrics above the stage to help audiences understand operas performed in other languages.
Portland Opera tickets may offer fans a gateway into another era just as easily as they might provide an opportunity to reflect on the times. As the company continues to perform opera classics by composers like Strauss and Mozart, it has had the distinction of hosting a number of notable world premieres. The Portland Opera hosted the West Coast premiere of William Bolcom’s A View From the Bridge, as well as the US premiere of Reynaldo Hahn’s Le merchand de Venise. Whether you’re going to see a classic or a new composition, you’re likely to witness the Portland Opera’s excellence in action.
