We will rigorously engage children in the arts by immersing them in the creation of an original opera. We will train children in the multiple art forms necessary to complete the project (dramatic writing & storytelling, acting, singing, music composition, dance, and design), and provide the experience of performing in a professionally-minded company. A Little Opera Company will be a place where children take the creative lead in an environment where all work is held to the highest of standards. In committing to seven months together, our students will also acquire the perseverance, trust, and follow-through needed to successfully complete long-term collaborative projects. We are committed to making our program accessible to all students, and will provide discounted tuition where needed.
