SERENADES, CONCERTS & EVENTS

Hearing operatic voices in intimate spaces is a special experience. Four times a year, Opera Maine supporters graciously host a “Serenade” in their homes or special venues. Opera lovers enjoy short concerts by Opera Maine singers, socialize with other attendees, and partake of delicious food and drink.

Serenades are also a wonderful way to be introduced to opera.
