POP-UP OPERA

OperaDelaware’s Pop-Up Opera program began as a necessity during the pandemic, but quickly evolved into a statewide tool for engagement, education, and welcoming new audiences! Pop-Up Opera introduces Delawareans across the state to the remarkable talent and power of live opera, brought right to you on our Mobile Opera Stage. With a roster of talented artists, an emcee, a supercharged t-shirt cannon, bubble machines, prizes, and giveaways, Pop-Up Opera is an EXPERIENCE and our customizable options make it a perfect addition to any event!
