Portland Opera is moving to a new home.

The company revealed that after two decades at the Hampton Opera Center, it will now call the World Trade Center on Salmon Street its new home. The new space features the Outdoor Plaza and indoor theater, allowing flexibility for the company’s mainstage and “Opera a la Cart” summer series.

“This move right-sizes the Opera to fit our hybrid work environment and will also further connect us to the growing arts district downtown,” said Sue Dixon, General Director of Portland Opera, per an official press release. “Our new space also includes a small auditorium and the outdoor plaza where we can activate performances and engage more members of our community.”

The company will lease the space from longtime community partner Portland General Electric, which has supported the Portland Opera’s education program, Portland Opera to Go.

“I am thrilled to welcome Portland Opera to their new home downtown,” said Maria Pope, PGE President and CEO. “This partnership reflects our shared commitment to rebuilding the heart of our city.”

Next up for the company is “The Shining” in March, followed by “Falstaff” in May.
