Here's what parents and teachers have to say about our In-School Programs
- "I just want to thank you and your organization for a fabulous program! The principal, the teachers and my PTO cultural arts committee all found it an outstanding performance. I was a little guarded as to how an opera would go over with the middle school kids-you never know how the kids will react. However I have to say it was a huge success! The volunteer grade 7 students were terrific and the rest of the student body was attentive, engaged and respectful of the professional performers and their peer performers. They probably wouldn't want to admit they enjoyed it, but it was obvious they were engaged and entertained. I don't think we have witnessed such attention in previous assemblies!! Your performers and manager Matthew were really terrific with the kids. I was impressed at how in 1 hour the whole show came together. It is a joy to watch the performers sing, act and work with the young people. Their enthusiasm is infectious! I really enjoyed meeting them. Your program is definitely an asset to the "opera world" and to opening the eyes & ears of young people."
-Lynn, Parent Teacher Organization member
- "Thank you so very much for everything you did to get Mozart's MAGIC FLUTE here yesterday. Everyone here loved it and felt that it was such an exceptional and worthwhile experience."
-Mary, Teacher
- "The production from A to Z was superb! The 4th graders that took part were on cloud nine afterwards. The audience—Pre-K to 4—was spellbound and some of the kids asked some good plot questions afterward."
-Beth, Teacher
