Opportunities
For K-12
Our touring opera programs span ages and abilities, from storytelling initiatives that build literacy to hands-on explorations of music and theater to one-on-one voice lessons. Students ages 8-14 can immerse themselves in voice, theater, composing, and writing—all culminating in performances onstage at the Detroit Opera House.
