Nashville Opera at Cheekwood

Join us for an evening where music meets the beauty of summer. Set among Cheekwood’s gardens in full bloom, Nashville Opera brings powerful voices and unforgettable stories into one of the city’s most stunning outdoor spaces. Bring a lawn chair or spread out a blanket and enjoy wine available for purchase—by the glass or bottle—along with beer, cocktails, and bites from local food trucks. Gather with friends and experience live opera in a setting that invites you to slow down, take it in, and feel something real.

Nashville Opera artists will perform a mix of opera favorites and familiar classics, creating a night that is both approachable and deeply moving. Whether it’s your first time or your hundredth, you’ll find yourself part of something shared: music, story, and a community coming together under the open sky. Come curious. Leave changed.
