By David Salazar

Toledo Opera will return with its “Opera ‘Round Town'” series this September.

The fall 2026 series will open on Sept. 9 at 6 p.m. on the front lawn of the Manor House at Wildwood Preserve Metropark. Additional performances will take place at Wildwood Preserve on Sept. 16 and 23, with a performance at Hamburg Township Library on Sept. 19 at 2 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, the Wildwood Preserve performances will move indoors to the Manor House.

Developed in partnership with presenting sponsor iHeart Media, Inc., “Opera ‘Round Town'” is part of Toledo Opera’s community outreach efforts, bringing live performances to community hubs throughout the region.

The fall series will feature Toledo Opera’s 2026-27 resident artists, including soprano Jenna Grissom, mezzo-soprano Caroline Friend, tenor Jeremy Do, baritone Timothy Krueger and pianist Charles Ligus.

“With ‘Opera ‘Round Town,’ we’re continuing to bring the beauty, energy, and excitement of live opera directly into spaces where our community comes together; from the Metroparks to venues throughout the region,” said Toledo Opera General Director James M. Norman, per an official press release. “With the generous support of iHeart Media, this revitalized series continues to make opera more accessible, engaging, and meaningful while creating new opportunities for people across our community to experience the power of live performance.”

The series is presented in partnership with Metroparks Toledo. Trish Hausknecht, Manager of Community Engagement for Metroparks Toledo, highlighted the combination of live opera and the natural setting at Wildwood Preserve.
