Couture Opera Flights of Fantasy

Knoxville Opera’s Couture Opera will transform the Historic Sanitary Laundry Building, now the headquarters for McCarty Holsaple McCarry, into a one-night-only fantasy world of fashion, music and immersive performance. The 2026 Flights of Fantasy theme will bring fantastical creatures, dramatic gowns, feathers, a runway emerging from the crowd and theatrical surprises. Award-winning architecture, fashion, opera, historic preservation and storytelling converge for a magical experience.
