Opera at Riderwood is an active resident group committed to increasing our knowledge and enjoyment of opera. We explore this exciting art form through a number of different activities including:
- Encore Opera – A free weekly screening of a complete opera or musical is held every Friday in the Encore Theater at 1:00 PM. Opera at Riderwood has a collection of over 500 videos of outstanding music performances, and one is featured every Friday.
- Live Opera – Concerts at Riderwood featuring acclaimed professional singers performing excerpts from familiar operas.
SAVE THE DATE

view the next opera on the Friday schedule. Everyone is welcome to participate in Opera Forum, which meets every Thursday evening from 7:15 to 8:30 PM in the Chesapeake Room in MST. The forum is on pause until September 2023. **OPERA FORUM HAS REACHED ITS ENROLLMENT CAPACITY.
