Opera Outdoors returns to Wildwood Preserve Metropark with a performance on Wednesday, May 22, at 6 p.m., on the front lawn at the Manor House. In the event of inclement weather, the performance will be moved inside the Manor House.
The concert is free and open to the public.
Opera Outdoors is a series of pop-up live performances at outdoor commercial, recreational and community hubs throughout Toledo. The series features the opera’s 2023-24 cohort of resident artists, selected from an international pool of more than 150 applicants for a one-year residency in Toledo.
Resident artists Sara Mortensen, soprano; Imara Miles, mezzo-soprano; Jon Suek, tenor; Evan Fleming, baritone and pianist Steven Naylor will perform vocal selections from the classical repertoire, along with musical theatre and other American standards.
“Since the program’s inception in fall of 2020, Opera Outdoors has become a part of our core programming” said Suzanne Rorick, executive director of the Toledo Opera. “We are honored to work alongside our fantastic community partners to share engaging and accessible live music from the vocal repertoire with everyone.”
The performance is presented in partnership with Metroparks Toledo, Toledo. com and ProMedica. For more information, visit toledo opera.org.
