OperaTruck was designed to bring productions of family fare to Greater Dallas communities using an 18-wheel flatbed “big rig” which has been customized as an outdoor mobile stage. It can accommodate musicians and singers with appropriate distancing in “pop-up” performances. OperaTruck was generously donated and retro-fitted by Quincy Roberts—a member of TDO’s Board of Directors and Chorus, and one of D magazine’s “Top 500 Most Influential Leaders”— who is also a trained opera singer, and CEO of Roberts Trucking, the largest African American- owned construction hauler in Dallas. Thanks to Quincy Roberts, audiences of all ages can experience the wonderful stories of opera in an outdoor setting in their own neighborhoods. It’s a perfect way to sample an opera and see what you like about it! • It’s been to churches, parks, and other outdoor community locations since last spring, bringing family operas to outdoor audiences for free!
