Education Programs 2026-27:
Spark Joy!

This year is about JOY!
Laugh and frolic to the merry tunes and antics of The Pirates of Penzance in Opera Together; celebrate the lights and warmth of tradition in Songs of the Season; create and compose collaboratively in Book to Bravo! and Voices for Social Justice Residencies; enter the magical world of four different operas in Sing a Story; join us at the Opera House for a handful of innovative and inspiring mainstage operas through Student Dress Rehearsals, and a special holiday field trip treat: the classic warm, fuzzy tale of The Velveteen Rabbit. This season we are celebrating the power of the arts to light the dark spaces, bridge differences, and lead us into joy through expression and song. Join us!
