Newport Performing Arts Center

Newport Performing Arts Center The Newport Performing Arts Center (PAC) is the premiere performance venue on the Oregon coast. And All That Jazz! / T.J.

The Performing Arts Center (PAC) is home to a group of resident companies affectionately called the PACRATs (which stands for Performing Arts Center Resident Artist Teams). The Performing Arts Center Resident Artist Teams consist of community music, theatre, and dance producers who keep the facility busy year-round. It also serves touring artists, non-profits, for-profits, and individuals as space

permits. Resident artist teams currently include dance companies, including Dance! Hoofers, Newport School of Dance / Oregon Coast Ballet Company, and the Newport School of Artist Movement / Pacific Dance Ensemble; the Newport Symphony Orchestra; choral groups, including Central Coast Chorale and the Oregon Coastalaires; theater companies, including Coastal Act Productions, Porthole Players Ltd., Red Octopus Theatre Company, and New Visions Arts; the Oregon Music Teachers Association; and the International Film Series. The Performing Arts Center also serves as a venue for Shakespeare and theater camps for youth. Oregon Coast Council for the Arts (OCCA) manages the facility and is also the founding organization of the Oregon Coast Jazz Party, which began in 2004 and continues to thrive. Events in the three-day international celebration of America's only indigenous art form primarily occur at the PAC, with support from many businesses and sponsors, as well as over 60 volunteers. The PAC has two performances spaces, the Alice Silverman Theatre and the David Ogden Stiers Studio Theatre. The Silverman is a 398-seat, proscenium, stage theatre with a full range of technical capabilities and a state-of-the-art Meyer Constellation Acoustical System.

THIS WEEKEND: Experience the magic of Metropolitan Opera - on screen in HD - at the Newport Performing Arts Center. Join us for Gabriela Lena Frank's's "El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego" on Saturday, June 6, at 10am. Frank makes her Met debut with her first opera, a magical-realist portrait of Mexico’s painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Nilo Cruz. Fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Euridice myth, the story depicts Frida, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead and reuniting with Diego, portrayed by baritone Carlos Álvarez. The famously feuding pair briefly relive their tumultuous love, embracing both the passion and the pain before bidding the land of the living a final farewell. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met premiere of Frank’s opera, a “confident, richly imagined score” (The New Yorker) that “bursts with color and fresh individuality” (Los Angeles Times). The vibrant new production, taking enthusiastic inspiration from Frida and Diego’s paintings, is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker, following her remarkable 2024 debut staging of Ainadamar.
