Opera Shots is our annual series of casual pop-up concerts throughout the community, held in unexpected places and designed to break down the stereotypes of opera. Opera Shots concerts feature members of the Opera Birmingham Chorus and surprise guest artists presenting an open-mic-style concert of the greatest hits of opera and musical theatre. In the age of COVID-19, Opera Birmingham is adapting and ready to continue bringing innovative entertainment opportunities to our community, so this season’s Opera Shots are mobile outdoor concerts!

Admission is free. Food and beverages are available for purchase from The Collins Bar. In addition to their adult beverage selections, they will also be serving up coke floats and sodas for the kids! Lawn chairs and picnic blankets are welcome.

A limited number of tables of reserved seating (including table service) may be purchased from The Collins Bar for $225 each. For information on purchasing your table, please email info@operabirmingham.org.

For the health of our patrons, staff and performers, and in keeping with the Birmingham mask ordinance, masks are required at the event, and social distancing will be in effect.

The concert will feature guest artists, Savannah Bracewell, Chris Farley, Alie B. Gorrie, Dylan Hughes, Kristine Hurst-Wajszczuk, Emily Jaworski Koriath, Samuel Robertson, Macy Rowland, Joylyn Rushing, Allison Sanders, Jonathan Michael Smith, and Angela Yoon, accompanied by Christy Vest on piano. The performance will include selections from The Barber of Seville, La Bohème, Tosca, Carmen, Hamilton, A Little Night Music, La Rondine, Into the Woods, Porgy and Bess, and South Pacific, among others.
