SHOW INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
After careful consideration, Opera Omaha’s annual outdoor concert, Opera Outdoors, will be presented in a live audio broadcast out of concern for the safety of the community due to increased COVID-19 cases in the area. We invite you to tune in to this special concert from the comfort of your homes, backyards, vehicles or wherever you choose to live stream, in thanks to a special collaboration with Classical 90.7, KVNO.

This year’s concert is sponsored by Holland Foundation, Fred and Eve Simon Charitable Foundation, Omaha Steaks, First National Bank and KVNO with support from MECA, Omaha’s Metropolitan Entertainment & Convention Authority.
