Opera on a Stick!

Austin Lyric Opera has developed a fun and engaging introduction to opera. A group of opera singers, accompanied by a pianist, lead students in a 45 minute program of opera instruction and live performance. After learning about the history of opera’s origins, musical and opera specific terms and concepts are introduced and demonstrated. Students are treated to live performances of several operatic selections by some of Austin’s finest classical singers. At the conclusion of the presentation, students become performers as well, as they will learn to sing a brief chorus excerpt along with their guides. A lively Q&A session ends the program. Cost is $550.
