 February 16, 2026 | Portland, OR: New Wave Opera is honored to be one of 274 Portland-based artists and arts organizations awarded a Portland Arts Project Grant from the City of Portland’s Office of Arts & Culture and the Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC)!
This generous support will help bring to life the world premiere of Deep Water, a futuristic fantasy opera by Portland composer Caroline Louise Miller, debuting in June. The work follows two queer teenagers navigating a post-apocalyptic Earth, exploring themes of climate grief, resilience, and hope. "We are grateful to have the City of Portland and RACC's continued support of our work," says New Wave Opera President Lisa Neher. "Thanks to this grant, we can pay artists fairly for their work and offer ticket discounts for students, seniors, veterans, BIPOC, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and Oregon Trail Card holders. We're thrilled to bring Caroline Louise Miller's timely and powerful opera to Portland-area audiences."
