MOREL INK: Proud supporter of the Portland Gay Men's Chorus.

“The Portland Gay Men’s Chorus aspires to expand, redefine, and perfect the choral art through eclectic performances that honor and uplift our community and affirm the worth of all people.”

A message from Morel Ink’s friends at Portland Opera. Driven By Vision.

“Portland Opera, the legacy Pacific Northwest arts company today moves into Phase Two of its multi-phase $5 million SOS fundraising campaign. Titled
“KEEP PORTLAND OPERATIC – Save our song. Secure our future”—this it is a 16-month campaign aiming to stabilize operations, protect artistic excellence, and position the company for long-term sustainability.

Phase One was a resounding success, seeing the company achieve its first interim goal of $1.5 million by the end of June 2026. Led by a transformative $1 million gift from the
Oregon Community Foundation (OCF), the campaign quickly gained traction and has
allowed for announcement of the upcoming 2026/27 opera season “DRIVEN BY VISION.”

Like many performing arts organizations nationwide, Portland Opera continues to navigate the financial aftershocks of the pandemic, rising production costs, and shifting audience patterns.

"Across the country, opera companies are contracting, closing, or retreating from risk,” says Alfrelynn Roberts, Portland Opera’s Artistic Director.
“Here at Portland Opera, we’re
choosing a different path - one grounded in artistic rigor, community relevance, and long-term sustainability. We are building an organization that does not separate excellence fromaccess, or ambition from responsibility."

Beth Lewis, Director of Development at Portland Opera says, “Portland Opera is vital to the Pacific Northwest arts ecosystem. We are overwhelmed by the generosity of our community, and truly grateful for everyone who has made a gift to our campaign…but we’re not done yet! We look forward to seeing you at Opera a la Cart this summer, and when our season opens in the fall.”

Portland Opera’s goal for Phase Two is to raise another $2 million raised by the end of the 2026 calendar year. The organization anticipates strong support from individual donors to meet this goal. Supporters at all levels are invited to contribute to help the company
continue to inspire, educate, and strengthen community in the Pacific Northwest.

Funds raised through the KEEP PORTLAND OPERATIC campaign will:
• Sustain hundreds of artists, musicians, craftspeople, and staff who power the
Pacific Northwest arts ecosystem
• Protect and expand vital community programs, including Portland Opera
to Go (POGO) — which has reached nearly 300,000 students — and Opera a la
Cart, the mobile performance program bringing live opera directly into
neighborhoods across the region all summer
• Create capacity for transformation, with a leaner, nimbler and more
transparent operating model designed to grow earned revenue and secure
long-term financial stability.”
