Artists In Residence hit the road with abridged performances of two exciting operas sung in English–"The Pirates of Penzance" and an all new production of "Romeo and Juliet"! Bring opera directly into your school, complete with sets, props, costumes, and live accompaniment. Each show runs approximately 60 minutes plus a brief 10-15 minute Q&A session with your students. (Cost: $600 for one performance; $800 for two, back-to-back performances)
Great cities need great art—and Opera Colorado has brought world-class opera to Denver and beyond since our founding in 1981. During a typical season, Opera Colorado’s Education & Community Engagement Programs reach more than 45,000 learners of all ages—both in the Denver metro area and throughout the state of Colorado. Our vibrant array of programming includes touring productions of classic operas, lectures and in-school workshops customized to practically any topic, field trips to the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in downtown Denver, and much more.
Each performance comes with free, downloadable lesson plans that align with Colorado Academic Standards. Opera Colorado offers both live and digital programs.
