This concert is made possible through the generous support of Jennie and Steve Huttler & Suzanna and John Laramee.

One of the most beloved evenings during the Newport Classical Music Festival, Opera Night returns with a captivating evening of arias, duets, and ensemble numbers from American English operas. Narrated by acclaimed pianist Charlie Kim, this journey through operatic classics unfolds against the breathtaking backdrop of The Breakers. Dress in your finest and enjoy an unforgettable evening, complete with a red-carpet photo experience, where timeless music and storytelling come to life in a setting as beautiful as the performances themselves.

Arrive early and dress up!
The world of opera creates an aura of opulence, a great excuse to have fun with your fashion. With this year’s Opera Night including a red-carpet experience prior to the performance, we heartily encourage Creative Cocktail, however, there is no dress code for Newport Classical concerts.
