We have been putting on a lot of shows over the years, but thanks to COVID, we've never had an opportunity to showcase who exactly our singers are! So, we're using the first of our 2023 "Opera on the Patio" series to do so. Get to know our fabulous Fort Wayne divas in a concert where they get to pick their favorite arias, art songs, and other musical selections to share!

We are happy to be back on the patio of Hop River Brewing Company for our first outdoor concert of the year! As the weather gets hotter, cool off with a Hop Ryephoon IPA or a German-style Kolsch. You can't go wrong with a night full of operatic singing, refreshing beers, delicious food, and even winning a round of "Singo!" in the taproom! You won't want to miss it!

Note: In case of rain, this concert can be rescheduled to Thursday, June 8th @ 7 p.m.

It's Cinco de Mayo! ...well, this won't actually be happening on May 5th, but we wanted to tie in the holiday somehow! The holiday celebrates the Mexican victory over the French Empire, so we wanted to show off our language skills and showcase a variety of French and Spanish classical music. In fact, there is at least one *very* famous French language opera that takes place in Spain, so there are plenty of possibilities with this theme!

We are thrilled to return to the patio of Three Rivers Distilling Company after performing there last September. Come enjoy a delicious meal, sip a cocktail, and listen to a diverse showcase of Spanish and French music you won’t soon forget!

As the weather turns cold and the COVID-19 saga continues to evolve, we’ll be shifting back to virtual shows. While we want nothing more than to sing for you live, we want to protect our patrons and performers. Be sure to check out the live stream here on FB!!

Side note: Our Facebook Livestream link is facebook.com/OOTFW/live. It’s a permalink, so it never changes.

-THIS IS NOW A ONLINE EVENT-Please note the earlier time! -

It's that time of the year! No, we're not talking about Halloween; we mean OOToberfest!!

Every October, the entire international Opera on Tap organization hosts an annual fundraiser. Our singers will provide some of their greatest hits while we work towards our goal of raising $1,000!!

This thrilling event will take place on Hop River Brewing Co’s patio*!! We’ve bumped up our start time so we can have some daylight for the performance. If you enjoy Opera on Tap Fort Wayne, then please tell everyone you know about this show. We want to make it a big one and can't do it without your support!!

*We are working with Hop River to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic during the seasonal changes. We are hoping the weather will be good enough to be outside. We will provide updates as needed! Plan to bring a jacket!

Every classical singer begins with two objectives: 1) making the voice sound pretty, and 2) learning to sing in different languages! Lots of us start with the "24 Italian Arias and Art Songs," a compilation of early baroque songs and arias. We decided to bring back some of our beginner Italian repertoire from this compilation and more for our Opera Jamz for Beginners show!

We are thrilled to be partnering again with Three Rivers Distilling Company to provide you with a night of gorgeous Italian music!! Arrive early, grab a cocktail (or two), and come hear the songs that started our classical singing journeys!

Full disclosure here - as the weather gets colder and the new COVID variant continues to rage, we aren’t sure what will happen with OOTFW’s monthly shows after this one. We plan on continuing to do something, but we may have to go virtual again. So be sure to come out to get your opera fix at our September show, while outdoor performances are still possible!

Aug 25, 11:00pm - Aug 26, 12:00am

Hop River Brewing Company1515 N. Harrison StFort Wayne, IN46808 Map

Opera is often known for being grandiose, lavish, and verrrrrryyyy dramatic (ask us about how many characters sing high notes while they’re “dying”). However, opera can have its lighter side too! This time we’re going to showcase the “spin-offs”: operetta (aka opera-ish) and musical theatre. From the satirical stylings of Gilbert and Sullivan to the catchy tunes of Rodgers and Hammerstein, here’s a show that's just a little less dramatic.

We are proud to be partnering again with Hop River Brewing Company on their patio!! Be sure to make reservations ahead of time at the link below. It’s a good time to order a pilsner or IPA (or whatever fits your taste buds) and hear selections of some of the best light opera songs in the world, performed by some great local singers!

Let's return to a simpler time. A time where singers could show off how many notes they could sing in one breath. A time where the works of Verdi and Puccini would be considered distasteful and loud. A time where you could sing a word, and then sing it fifty more times because art. You'll get to hear all of that right here on FB Live!!

Of course, we will be partnering with Hop River Brewing Company!! They have an absolutely fabulous in-restaurant pickup or curbside delivery service for takeout, even if you’re ordering a growler!

We all have seen that pizza commercial or random dramatic movie scene with a famous operatic piece playing in the background. But what is that song really about? What is it even called? Opera on Tap Fort Wayne is thrilled to partner with Hop River Brewing Company for our April show! We will sing some of the most famous numbers from the operatic/classical world in this concert of favorites. Grab a drink and sit back as we dedicate the evening to keeping these songs in your head for days to come.

Due to the pandemic, we have elected to do a live stream concert for this show. Since we were supposed to sing at Hop River Brewing Company, which is indefinitely closed due to the outbreak, we will be supporting them by featuring their beer in some of our performances (a huge sacrifice, we know!). Be sure to log in to Facebook and catch our very first live stream!

These are hard times, and as always, we will do our best to provide you a quality concert regardless of your ability to donate.

Feb 21, 12:00am - Feb 21, 1:30am

Opera on Tap Fort Wayne returns for a VERY special February event in collaboration with Manchester University! Manchester is working on the collegiate premiere of the 2017 opera "The Invention of Morel" by Stewart Copeland (founder and drummer of '80s hit band The Police), guest directed by the Metropolitan Opera's Kathleen Smith Belcher. Students from the cast will be joining us to perform parts of the opera, and the director will be in attendance to say a few words about the show! What a treat!

Join our guests and our local singers on Fat Thursday as we serenade you with songs of the Seven Deadly Sins (pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth) because those pretty much cover the plot points of an opera, including "The Invention of Morel." Naturally, we’ll be dressed in our best Mardi Gras attire (in winter). So bring your beads and join us as we sing of the operatic vices at Trubble Brewing Company before letting them go for Lent. Or...at least until the next performance ;D

DISCLAIMER: Due to the unprecedented (and very welcome) popularity of our previous show, we will have limited seating for our audience at this event. Be sure to come early, and grab dinner and drinks to support our friends at Trubble!
