Directions and parking

Opera Baltimore’s performances will take place in two venues this season.

  • ADDRESS
    11 West Mount Vernon Place
    Baltimore, MD 21201

    PARKING

    Our venue is located in the picturesque Mount Vernon neighborhood of Baltimore City.  There are several options for parking nearby:

    • Street Parking - 2-hour and metered street parking surround the Club, please be very careful when reading appropriate signage. Street parking is usually free on Sunday.

    • Several Inexpensive Parking Garages are within a 5-minute walk. Check out this site for up to date prices and hours: http://baltimore.bestparking.com. Many patrons have successfully used the indoor parking garage adjacent to the Baltimore Basilica: LAZ Parking at 15 W. Franklin St., Baltimore MD, 21201. Usually this costs just $5 for Friday evening or Sunday afternoon; however, we do not officially endorse any garage. Thirsty Thursday patrons should note that the Franklin St. garage requires you to use the yellow token you receive upon entry to access the garage after hours. Please be sure that the garage of your choice does not close before the end of the performance.

    • Opera Baltimore is no longer offering valet parking. Valet parking is available at the Revival Hotel across the street.

    TRANSPORTATION

    The Engineers Club is conveniently located near MTA bus lines and the Centre Street Light Rail stop. We are also just steps away from the free Charm City Circulator Bus route (stop 307) on the Purple Line - it is easy and efficient!  Please check public transportation schedules for details and operation hours.

  • ADDRESS

    • 7900 Stephens Ave

    Stephens Hall is located on Towson University’s beautiful campus.  We recommend the following parking option:

    • Visitors may park in the Glen Garage for FREE after 3pm on Fridays and all day on Sundays. You can access the garage from Cross Campus Drive, off of York Road. Alternatively, you can turn onto Stephens Ave from York Road itself, but there is no light on this intersection.

    • Here is a short video showing the 5 minute walk from the garage to to Stephens Hall.
