Celebrate summer! Enjoy the talented artists and musicians that live right here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest at the Opera a la Cart performances.

Inspired by Portland’s food cart culture, Opera a la Cart is a mobile performance venue that brings live opera performances directly into the community spaces where people gather. You’ll find it at farmer’s markets, city parks, neighborhood festivals, street fairs, wineries, and other public events throughout the Portland metro area and region. This year, Opera a la Cart is also partnering with Portland Parks for the Summer Free for All: Lunch + Play program, as well as bringing live operatic performances directly into the Portland Cherry Bombs FC matchday experience. 

Please see the Portland Opera website for detailed dates and times.
