Knoxville Opera invites audiences to experience live music in one of Knoxville's most unique outdoor settings. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Augusta Quarry, this three-concert series features opera, musical theatre, and familiar favorites performed by exceptional artists.

Featuring opera arias, art songs, and Broadway favorites, Opera Under the Stars: Moonlight & Stars explores romance, wonder, and the magic that comes alive after dark. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy an unforgettable evening of music under the stars.

At this event, audiences are invited to take part in a simple community activity alongside the performance. Guests can decorate a floating lantern with a note of gratitude, memory, or hope and release it onto the water at sunset.
