Opera Kids
Come learn how an opera is made, then create your own! Co-hosted by Powers Music School and Boston Lyric Opera
Monday, August 11 – Friday, August 15, 2025
9:30 AM – 4:30 PM
Final performance on Friday, 3:45 pm!
Did you know that all operas (even the most famous ones) are simply sung-through stories? If you can write a story and sing it, then you’ve created an opera! For rising 3rd-6th graders who love singing, music, and theatre, Opera Kids is a special and exclusive opportunity to write, compose, and perform a mini opera in one week with guidance from Boston Lyric Opera’s Master Teaching Artists!
In just one week, participants will:
- Collaborate to write music, libretto (the text for the show), scenes, and a storyline for their opera
- Design and create costumes, props, sets, and lighting
- Learn about how an opera company works, including various “opera jobs” inside an opera company, such as: Marketing Manager, Stage Manager, Master Electrician, Lighting Designer, Stage Crew, Costume Designer, Makeup Designer, Head Carpenter, Set Designer, Stage Director, Musician, Singer, Composer, and Librettist
- Share their opera in a special performance!
Through collaboration and an array of artistic activities, participants will diversify their way of thinking and develop creativity, social and emotional skills, self-confidence, respect for others, decision-making, and critical thinking.
Age: Rising 3rd – 6th graders
Cost: 690(690 (690(675 tuition plus $15 summer registration fee)
Opera Kids runs concurrently with Opera Creation Bootcamp, Boston Lyric Opera’s professional development intensive/teacher training for local educators. Each afternoon, Opera Kids participants will join with Opera Creation Bootcamp educators for integrated sessions as they work together towards a final performance.
