Education Staff Resources
OPERA America provides resources for making opera a part of K-12 education, as well as resources to engage adult opera audiences.
MUSIC! WORDS! OPERA!
This K-12 curriculum series introduces teachers and students to great works of opera and gives them the tools to create their own original operas.
Opera for Youth Directory
The
Opera for Youth Directory provides comprehensive information about operas that can be performed for or by young people. In creating this directory, OPERA America has realized the vision of Opera for Youth, the organization that previously maintained the catalogue. The directory can be browsed in a number of ways and will prove useful for educators, directors and others involved in the creation of opera and musical theater.
