"Portland is the ideal proving ground for artists to (sometimes quite literally) find their own voice—like the two Portland Opera chorus members who decided to start their own opera company, New Wave Opera, to highlight the work of living composers." (From "Fall Arts Guide" | Robert Ham for Willamette Week | September 11, 2024)
"And in case you didn’t get enough opera news above, Artswatch also welcomes still another Oregon operatic arrival, New Wave Opera, and looks forward to telling readers all about its upcoming inaugural season."
