Trade your opera glasses for binoculars at Bird Songs of Opera, an outdoor recital that reimagines iconic opera arias as the songs of Oregon birds! Stroll the trails of the beautiful Leach Botanical Garden, keeping your ears open for strains of Puccini, Mozart and Bizet and your eyes peeled for flashes of glamorous plumage. This production is a delight for bird watchers and opera lovers of all ages. Afternoon garden performances are followed by indoor ADA accessible performances at Buckley Center Auditorium at University of Portland.

Bird Songs of Opera is designed as a moving, immersive experience. Afternoon performances at Leach Botanical Garden will involve standing and moving on unpaved trails for a total distance of up to .75 miles. Evening performances at University of Portland are seated and fully ADA accessible. If you have questions or access needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us renegadeoperapdx@gmail.com.
