OperaDelaware Brings Drive-Through-Arias to Community

OperaDelaware is making the most out of their closure, according to Delaware Business Now. They're bringing their performers to the public through drive-throughs and a mobile opera cart.

The company, celebrating its 75th anniversary, had recently cancelled their season due to the current global health crisis.

Last month, OperaDelaware hosted "Drive-Through-Aria" events in their parking lot. Now they are utilizing their new mobile opera cart across the state, at locations such as hospitals and retirement communities.
