In conjunction with the Open Engagement symposium at Portland State University, TriMet will host Bus Stop Opera performances. The opera troupe takes situations and conversations gathered during the everyday commute on public transportation and turns them into mini-operas.
The performers will also use TriMet to travel between their performance locations. The performances will break out through Monday evening's commute.
You can find the performances at the locations below (be aware that the times are estimates). Performances last for about 20 minutes. Regular service will not be disrupted.
