Opera Around the World: America
To kick off Park City Opera’s “Opera Around the World” series, your passport gets its first stamp right here at home. Featuring singers visiting from around the country to perform in PCO’s The Tender Land, this series opener celebrates the breadth and diversity of American music — and keeps the July 4th celebrations going an extra week!
Set against Park City’s stunning mountain backdrop, we invite you to gather your loved ones (dogs included), and enjoy opera and vocal chamber music in an open-air, relaxed community setting. This event is free and no tickets are required.
Picnic baskets from Union Patisserie are available now for pre-order only for all Opera Around the World events! Pre-orders close 24 hours before each event.
