Opera a la Cart at Walters Cultural Arts Center

A beautiful, warm evening, picnic supper, and lovely music wafting on the breeze—sounds like the perfect summer outing! This free concert by the Portland Opera perfectly captures these sweet, golden hours through a gorgeous collection of beloved arias, art songs, and musical theater gems.

Bring a blanket or lawn chair, along with snacks for a concert on the Walters lawn. Note: In case of higher temperatures, the performance will be moved indoors.

Free. No tickets required.

Inspired by Portland’s food cart culture, Opera a la Cart is a mobile performance venue that brings live opera performance directly into the community spaces where people gather. Designed and built by architecture students at Portland State University, the cart features a fold-out stage and a “menu” of operatic specials of the day to be sung by local artists.
