Love Notes 2.0...Sour Notes

East Passyunk Opera Project was developed to create opportunities to bring opera off the stage and into Philadelphia communities. We bring the art form up close and personal in order to build a more intimate level of engagement between audiences, the artists, and the music.From our first packed house concert in December of 2019, we quickly pivoted to alternative venues in 2020 and staged successful outdoor performances as well as digital productions.Our mission is to expand community awareness and access to opera, musical theater, and art song by collaborating with exceptional performance and visual artists paired with unique venues to bring innovative, accessible, and free or low-cost performances to Philadelphia audiences.

East Passyunk Opera Project, aka ePOP

A cabaret show featuring opera, musical theater, &amp; art song exploring the "other" side of love. Complimentary cocktails to wash it all down.
