Middle school through high school students (grades 6–12) get the unique educational OPERAtunity to meet opera singers, conductors, or directors for an insider’s guide to the magic of opera.
OPERAtunity begins with a presentation and discussion from an Opera Grand Rapids artist, followed by a small snack time. Students will then make their way to the performance hall to enjoy the final dress rehearsal. We recommend that attendees eat dinner beforehand.
