Mission Statement

In the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, Orpheus’ singing and playing is so beautiful that even the savage beasts of Hades are moved to tears. Portland’s new opera company, OrpheusPDX, aspires to do the same—to touch the very soul of the community through the power of great music and singing. It will enhance that powerful experience by producing opera in the intimate, 472-seat Lincoln Performance Hall, where audiences will enjoy an enriching, moving, and personal experience.

About This Cause

OrpheusPDX is committed to honoring tradition and presenting beautiful music, beautifully sung, with one opera from well-loved Bel Canto composers such as Mozart, Handel, Rossini, etc. It’s also committed to producing one contemporary opera from the body of great modern works that move and excite today’s audiences, thus providing them with the best of both operatic worlds. OrpheusPDX General and Artistic Director, Christopher Mattaliano, has worked as a guest artist at major opera companies throughout the United States. During his 35+ years’ experience as an opera producer, stage director, and teacher, he has developed a deep working relationship with a wide variety of outstanding international artists who will join the company each season. He has consistently demonstrated a commitment to “quality above all else,” regardless of scale of operation, a commitment which has won him national acclaim for creativity and artistic quality.
