Ijams Nature Center, in partnership with the Knoxville Opera, will hold a free concert featuring popular selections from Broadway, movies, operetta, and, of course, opera. Brian Salesky, Knoxville Opera’s artistic director, will host the performance and accompany soprano Jacquie Brecheen and tenor Wayd Odle. Attendance will be on a first-come, first-served basis and will be limited to 50 socially distanced guests seated on the lawn in front of the Pavilion located near the front entrance of the Visitor Center.

All attendees MUST reserve a ticket online in order to attend.  The event is now SOLD OUT. If you reserve a ticket and then cannot attend, send an email to [email protected] to release your ticket to the next person on the wait list. Guests are welcome to bring lawn chairs or blankets and sit on the lawn. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase in the Ijams Visitor Center. In the event of rain at performance time, the event may be postponed.
