POPera series began in Season 14 as a response to the shutdown of mainstage and indoor opera performances. POPera ran performances in several outdoor venues and slowly added covered and even indoor venues as regulations allowed.
The POPera series allowed the company to feature regional and favorites artists from the St Petersburg Opera family. These wildly popular events helped bridge the gap as we prepared for the return of Mainstage Opera.
POPera has also been an amazing outreach program that has brought new audiences into the wonderful artistry that is opera.

The safety of our patrons and staff is very important to us, and we take precautions at all our events to prevent the spread of COVID-19. St Petersburg Opera requires temperature checks and masks for everyone who enters our building at Opera Central. Social distancing is strictly observed, with a minimum of 7 feet between tables and 15 feet distance from the stage to the first row of tables. Cage Brewing is an outdoor, covered venue, with social distancing and masks required. Our performances at the Museum of Fine Arts are held outdoors on the grassy lawn north of the museum building. Audience members bring their own chairs or blankets and are required to practice social distancing. Palladium performances will include socially distanced seating between parties of at least 6 ft, masks are currently also required.
