Portland Opera holds free chorus rehearsal in Director Park ...

If you like opera choruses -- and who doesn't? -- get to Director Park in downtown Portland Sunday afternoon, Sept. 9. The loud and lusty Portland Opera Chorus will hold forth at its annual outdoor rehearsal.

Opera choruses are among the liveliest music written -- think the "Anvil Chorus" from "Il Trovatore," the enormous swell of voices in "Aida," the "Brindisi" drinking chorus in "La Traviata."

The rehearsal goes from 3 to 5 p.m., Sept. 9. Director Park is behind the Fox Tower, between S.W. Taylor and Yamhill and 9th and Park.

Interim Assistant Conductor & Chorus Master Michelle Alexander will lead the 65-voice group.
