Portland Opera Tickets

John Moore deserves an Academy Award! He was the consummate Figaro. The other cast members deserve that award, as well. They were mesmerizing. At times, I found myself laughing so hard that my sides hurt with their antics! The voices were magnificent, as well. (I, myself, am a trained operatic soprano, and know what "magnificent" sounds like.) In all, and, as usual, I was "over-the-top" impressed with another Portland Opera production. To me, although I've never been there, your productions might rival those at the Met. I'm so looking forward to seeing "Butterfly" in October! Thank you for letting me express my joy at seeing such a spectacular rendering of this Rossini classic.

The performer who played Figaro was outstanding! From body movements to facial expressions to his plaid pants, he set the tone for a fun evening. All the performers were outstanding and played their part well. A surprise was the acting and solo by the House Keeper who connected with the audience. A weak point was the inability to clearly hear the Doctor when he was to the back of the stage. Perhaps a microphone problem? In summary, it was a performance that made us laugh.

..some room for improvement. The singing, the orchestra, set design, and the costumes were all terrific! Figaro was of course non pareil. I took off one star for direction -- that is, just too much stage business thrown into the production. Funny stuff needs to be in some moderation, and there was just too much of it, for my taste. Oh, and Hannah's introductory talk was well worth coming early for. She's the best. Overall, a wonderful night at the opera that made me want to come again.

Candy, for the eyes and ears! The opposite of what most people think about opera. Fast moving, fun, amazing orchestra and voices! Big company, big sets....

Took wife and daughter. we all enjoyed it but was a little disappointed overall. Looking forward to a couple of operas later.

This year's Big Night was a "full meal deal"! The music choices ranged from old favorites of mine to pieces new to me. The performers were wonderful! The grand finale with some chorus members joining the audience and singing the Toreador song in the aisles was a joy. Then - the unexpected release of confetti from the top of the Keller ceiling - crazy fun! The only thing I could say against the evening's experience was that the program was a bit too long without an intermission. A terrific program!

Very sophisticated and fun performance! Great orchestra, choir and soloists! Program was well put together, easy and enjoyable for anyone.

I loved this concert, a little bit of everything, orchestra and performers were fantastic!

I had never been to the Portland Opera's Big Night before but I will be going every year from now on!! It was truly moving and I was brought to tears more than once! Really a can't miss event. The talent, passion and precision of the artists was truly spectacular.

The depiction of the transgender experience left me in tears more than once during this show.. I want to see it again now.

As One was such an interesting opera. The idea of a transsexual telling her story as the boy she started life as and the trans-woman she became, was a good idea for this opera. The informational talk before the opera was very helpful in understanding the work.

My best friend and I attended "La Traviata" on Friday, November 2, and found it to be mesmerizing. The voices were superb, as was the costuming. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

I can not put into words the beauty and talent of this show. I will never forget it.

the show was incredible. The Portland opera was great and did a couple of numbers before the show started. The 3 hours went incredibly fast...

The Prince was outstanding! All cast were beautiful singers and the acting was superb.

We thoroughly enjoyed the performance of La Cenerentola by the Portland Opera. The cast, costumes, orchestra, directors, were of superb quality. We are looking forward to future performances!

I have enjoyed this year year Portland Opera's presentations. Great cast, terrific musical effect, complimented with a great auditorium setting, Keller Auditorium. If affordable to me, I am planning on attend the complete Opera program this year. Smiles, Mari

My first opera and I was not disappointed. I was very prepared and read up on the play beforehand. My favorite story told beautifully on stage. Thank you.

What a fantastic Opera. The 3-D effects were WOW and well done. Excellent voices.

The singing was glorious. Mephistopheles was the weakest i have heard in years but both Faust and Margeurite held their own and all of the famous arias were en point. I did not "get" the mise en scene at all. I am sure someone had a vision but I didn't get it. The orchestra was noticeably energetic as were the choruses. All in all, a nice experience
