POP-UP OPERA BOOKING & FAQs

Each Pop-Up Opera performance is customized to fit your outdoor space, vision, and budget. Please review these Frequently Asked Questions, then fill out our contact form.  

What kind of space do you need to host an outdoor performance?
We can work with nearly any outdoor space—all we need is at least a 40-foot area (20 feet for the stage). If you have an existing stage, pergola, balcony, gazebo, or another outdoor space where you’d like us to perform, we are adaptable!

What are the performance options? 

OperaDelaware provides customizable programs that comfortably fit your budget, time frame, and audience. If you have questions about program cost, please don’t hesitate to reach out to OperaDelaware’s Director of Pop-Up Opera, Aurelien Eulert at aeulert@operade.org

My community does not have the budget to book a Pop-Up Opera performance. Will you still come?
Let’s talk! We are fortunate to have received support that may help subsidize or fund performances. Just mention your budget considerations in the form, and we will be in touch.

Do I need to provide any special equipment?
Access to WiFi and an electrical outlet is helpful. 

Can I sponsor a community outreach Pop-Up?
Yes! Share your love of opera and give back to the community with our PAY OPERA FORWARD program. When you purchase a Pop-Up Opera, you can make an additional tax-deductible donation which will sponsor a community outreach performance. We offer these outreach concerts at a reduced rate of 50% off when purchasing another Pop-Up Opera or 25% off when purchasing alone; other sponsorship opportunities are also available.
