We’ll be belting on the bar and chugging between arias!
Opera & Beer has been a fan-favorite for years! This event will have you singing along and smiling from ear to ear. Tri-Cities Opera is bringing out high-class talent with a twist! This May, we’re once again taking the show to Factory by Beer Tree Brew in Johnson City—and as always, your first drink is on us!
This event is always a sell-out, so we’ve added a second date to make sure you don’t miss a moment!
Both evenings will have the same performances, but we will be announcing our 75th Season of shows on the 21st!
Tickets are on sale now. Get them before they’re gone!

We recognize the indigenous peoples whose land Tri-Cities Opera’s facilities were built on. This land has been sustainably stewarded throughout generations by Haudenosaunee and Algonkian speaking peoples. We honor and respect the enduring relationship that exists between these peoples and nations and this land.
Tri-Cities Opera is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
