“Opera: What’s All the Noise About?”
This fun and informative program provides elementary school students a brief introduction to opera. Thanks to funding from ExxonMobil and Bank of America, the programs are free to a limited number of schools each year.

The program is designed for elementary school classrooms, usually 25 to 30 students, that lasts thirty to forty-five minutes depending on the school's bell schedule. A male and a female singer perform and talk with students about the career of a professional performer and conduct a lively question / answer session through activity sheets. No teacher training is required. Scheduleing requires two programs back to back for $500 and $250 for any additional program in which short breaks are provided for the singers.
