Portland Opera

Pacific Northwest Opera Company

Portland Opera is a professional opera company based in Portland, Oregon, United States. Founded in 1964, it has established itself as a significant cultural institution in the Pacific Northwest. The company presents a range of operatic productions each season, which often include both classic and contemporary works. Portland Opera is known for its commitment to artistic excellence, community engagement, and educational outreach programs. While the company itself does not produce albums as a recording artist might, it has been involved in various performances and productions of operas such as "Orphée" and "Galileo Galilei." These operas are notable works by composers Philip Glass and John Cox, respectively, and Portland Opera's renditions would contribute to the region's cultural offerings. The company performs at several venues, including the Keller Auditorium and the Newmark Theatre, providing audiences with opportunities to experience opera in different settings.
