Opera Outtakes

Perfect for middle school, high school and college audiences

Opera in YOUR classroom? Of course! Opera is the only artistic genre that uses ALL the major art forms (Music, Visual Art, Theatre, and Dance), and also connects easily to ANY classroom subject (History, Literature, Culture, even Science!).

This 45-minute introductory program of opera scenes and arias captures all the drama, comedy, and, beautiful music!

The experience doesn’t end with the performance. You can take your students beyond the stage by requesting a free Stagecraft Workshop or Q&A session. Topics include stage make-up, improvisation, and an insider look at a performer’s career.
