Artists in Training
Established in 1990 and unique in the U.S., Monsanto's Artists-in-Training program sets out to identify, coach and encourage talented students from high schools across St. Louis with weekly voice lessons by opera professionals at one of three area universities
Opera on the GO!
Introduce your students to the fantastic world of opera through mini-workshops in behind the scenes, expressing character through music and make-up. Designed for young people in grades 3-12, the program ends with a 30 minute semi-staged performance by four of OTSLs outstanding Gerdine Young Artists with piano accompaniment.
Made possible with support from Target Stores and Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc.
Opera Camp for Kids
Opera Camp for Kids takes place every summer and involves young people entering grades 4-8 from around the St. Louis area. Campers attend classes and interact with opera professionals involved in the main stage season.
Made possible by lead corporate sponsor Edward Jones and with generous support from Fox Performing Arts Charitable Foundation.
Spring Training
Two intensive one-week workshops, for high school students who are interested in singing, giving them access to expert resources available during Opera Theatre's spring season, including attending an OTSL main stage production.
Music! Words! Opera!
Opera Theatre helped pioneer Music! Words! Opera!, which was developed under the aegis of OPERA America and is now in place in hundreds of schools across the U.S. Its sequenced resource materials present opera as something everyone can understand and enjoy.
