Tucked into Provo’s Tree Streets neighborhood, The A-Frame is one of Utah's most unusual musical spaces: a midcentury-modern home built around an acoustically rich performance space. Part family home, part concert venue, it becomes the backdrop for an intimate evening of American art song and opera with Park City Opera.
Featuring nationally acclaimed singers from across the country, this performance offers a rare opportunity to experience operatic voices up close in a warm, 40-seat setting. Featuring selections from Aaron Copland’s The Tender Land and other highlights of the American vocal tradition, join us for an evening of powerful, personal storytelling that captures the heart of the American spirit.
