Piedmont Opera Expands Outreach with Opera Lite

Piedmont Opera is proud to announce the expansion of its innovative outreach program, Opera Lite, which brings engaging and accessible opera performances to communities across the greater Triad.

Originally launched through a generous grant from the Shallow Ford Foundation in Lewisville, Opera Lite was designed to introduce opera to new audiences in a lighter, approachable format. Building on that success, the program is now growing to reach even more communities, fulfilling Piedmont Opera’s mission to make opera available and enjoyable for all.

“Opera Lite is our way of meeting people where they are,” said Logan Webber, performer and Piedmont Opera’s Marketing and Outreach Manager. “These performances break down barriers and invite new audiences to experience the joy of opera in a welcoming environment.”

Upcoming Opera Lite Performances:

• October 26 – 3:00 PM | Mary Alice Warren Community Center, Lewisville/Clemmons

  Supported by a $2,500 grant from The Shallow Ford Foundation

• November 22 – Time TBD | Edward C. Smith Civic Center, Lexington
