Opera Around the World: Great Britain
From the windswept moors to the wit of the cobblestoned streets of London, British music has given us some of the most witty, soulful, and enduring art songs ever written. Meet singers from Park City Opera’s upcoming Roméo et Juliette as they perform music from Shakespeare’s homeland.
Set against Park City’s stunning mountain backdrop, we invite you to bring a picnic, 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.
