Opera Delaware Is Popping Up and Popping Bottles

Opera Delaware is focusing on bringing Opera into schools with Pop-up performances across the Brandywine Valley.

Pop-Up Opera recently received funding for five school visits thanks to Laffey-McHugh.

The schools next on the list are Cape Henlopen HS, John G. Leach School, Towsend Elementary, Mount Pleasant Elementary, and Springer Middle School. In a Press Release shared by Kerriann Otano (Vice President of Engagement with Opera DE), After the community nominated a staggering 40 schools, a selection committee chose the 5 listed above. The mobile stage will hit the road in mid-May, bringing our all-star artists to these students for an unforgettable end-of-school-year performance. 

In addition, on June 4, 2023 OperaDE will be taking up residence in Independence Mall with their portable opera stage for performances from 2pm-5pm!

In partnership with Swigg, they will offer $15 wine tastings during the event. Check out the commercial

They will also host a Microgala at Snuff Mill on June 5! There will be a 4-course menu and wine pairing created by one of Delaware’s top restauranteurs, Chef Robert Lhulier (click to read more about his incredible career and Snuff Mill’s legacy).

They’ll be pairing each course with musical selections from two of OperaDelaware’s most charismatic artists, mezzo-soprano Gina Perregrino and baritone Grant Youngblood.
