OperaTruck hitting the road for spring shows

Each spring and fall, The Dallas Opera (TDO) offers free entertaining and educational “pop-up” performances of 30-minute family-friendly operas. The next appearance is on March 28 at the White Rock Hills Branch Library (9150 Ferguson Rd., Dallas, TX 75228). Since 2021, these productions have been performed on the OperaTruck. This mobile outdoor stage is set up on the flatbed of an 18-wheel “big-rig” and driven out into the community. TDO Board Chair Quincy Roberts supplies the truck through his company, Roberts Trucking. The spring 2026 performances feature “The Three Little Pigs.” True to the classic tale, this English-language mini-opera is perfect for young attention spans. A delightful introduction to how music can make a beloved story come alive with a message that reading solves all sorts of problems. — Catherine Wendlandt
