Nixon in China, a co-production with Houston Grand Opera, Opera Theatre of St. Louis, Minnesota Opera, and Chicago Opera Theater, will be directed by Ken Newbury. Robert Orth plays the title role, with Nancy Allen Lundy as Pat Nixon.
Also on the schedule are Puccini's Tosca and Mozart's Don Giovanni, part of Portland's cross-disciplinary "Month of Mozart" festival celebrating the 250th anniversary of the composer's birth. In addition, the company will debut a new 200-seat space with a production of Britten's The Rape of Lucretia.
