Opera Delaware ‘Pop-Up’ Productions Deliver Opera Straight to Audiences

Opera Delaware

A Tempo Saturday (2/17) checks in with Opera Delaware about its ‘Pop-Up’ productions performed on a mobile stage around its community.

When the pandemic hit, Opera Delaware outfitted a landscaping truck to travel around and stage ‘pop-up’ opera performances around the region. The events allowed the company to reach a wider audience than previously, and it has now incorporated them into its regular seasons. Host Rachel Katz chats with Opera Delaware General Director Brendan Cooke about the initiative and the other ways the company has retooled its productions.
