Knoxville Opera is excited to announce it is launching a new project, literally. Like many performing arts organizations, Knoxville Opera is striving to find new ways to serve our community safely outside of the theater during the time of Covid. We have found an exciting way to do just that. Following the tradition of the VOL Navy, Knoxville Opera announces its new community project, the Opera Regatta. The Opera Regatta is a pontoon boat with 2 opera singers and Maestro Brian Salesky onboard, which will travel down the Tennessee River, making stops along the way on 3 consecutive Sundays in October. The dates for the Regatta are October 4th, 11th, and 18th. Knoxville Opera invites you to follow us, forming the Opera Regatta as we leave our home dock or to meet us at our Grand Finale location of the day.

On Sunday, October 4th the boat will launch from Volunteer Landing Marina around Noon and travel downstream toward Duncan Boat Dock. The boat will reach Duncan Boat Dock at 3:15.

On Sunday, October 11th, the Opera Regatta will launch from Duncan Boat Dock at 12:15, travel upstream to perform its Grand Finale at Volunteer Landing Marina, Downtown, Knoxville at 3:15.

On Sunday, October 18th
12:00 Launch from Volunteer Landing Marina (30-Minute Public Performance)
3:00 Arrive Duncan Boat Dock (30-Minute Public Performance)

(All times are approximate depending on weather conditions).

The performers will sing a variety of repertoire from, Broadway musicals, Disney movies and classic opera and operetta.
