Each December Opera Theatre brings two professional opera singers and an accompanist to St. Louis area schools and community organizations with a wide variety of musical selections to introduce audiences to the riches of the vocal music repertoire. Your group will enjoy a performance of well-known arias, duets and art songs from operas and operettas, as well as Broadway and musical theatre favorites.

Question/Answer sessions during each 45-minute performance offer students and adults a look into the world of vocal training, performance and professional careers in music.

This program also includes a special holiday concert for Friends of the Festival, bringing a closer look at the next generation of young American singers.

This year, performances are available December 6 - December 16, 2005 and can be scheduled from 10 a.m. through 7:30 p.m. The artists will perform at either your facility or a facility you designate. The cost per performance is $250.
