OPERA UP CLOSE
Experience opera at its most intimate in the Knoxville Opera Salon Series, a new recital series presented at the historic Eugenia Williams House. Featuring acclaimed guest artists, rising stars, and Knoxville favorites, these evenings bring audiences closer to the music than ever before.
With artists performing just steps away in the elegant surroundings of one of Knoxville’s most cherished homes, each salon offers a rare opportunity to experience the power of the human voice in a setting designed for listening. These programs reveal opera and vocal music on a personal scale—immediate, expressive, and deeply human.
Whether you are a longtime opera lover or discovering the art form for the first time, the Salon Series invites you to hear great artists up close and experience Knoxville Opera from a new perspective.
Due to the intimate nature of the venue, seating is very limited. Advance reservations are required.
Side Quest: Quixote, The men of La Mancha
FEBRUARY 4 & 6
Bass baritone Richard Ollarsaba brings Miguel de Cervantes’ legendary dreamer to life in Side Quest: Quixote, The men of La Mancha. Drawing inspiration from literature, stage, and screen, this imaginative recital highlights the triumphs and tribulations of the knight-errant, Don Quixote, and the characters closest to him. Through music by Massenet, Ravel, Ibert, Chapí, and selections from Broadway’s Man of La Mancha, the audience is invited to experience multiple interpretations of one of history’s most enduring literary figures through an evening of unforgettable storytelling.
