Founded in 2017 at Portland State University, Queer Opera is dedicated to providing a safe stage for LGBTQIA singers and allies to tell queer stories through the traditional genre of opera. Using unconventional casting methods, roles are matched with individuals based on how they identify, rather than the gender of the role or their voice type.
Queer Opera believes that everyone's story belongs on a stage. Started as a one-week workshop for pre-professional and young professional singers, QO continues to grow with plans for full productions in the near future.
