Opera Explorers, the Metropolitan Opera Guild’s newest educational program, is designed to introduce children aged 5-12 (with their parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles) to opera. By combining musical and historical background with hands-on experiential learning and physical and vocal activity, workshop participants learn to recognize characters by sight and sound, follow a complex operatic plot, and understand the power of music, acting, and design to tell a story. Its impact will be felt over years as children grow and become new opera lovers or, perhaps, are inspired to pursue their own dreams of performance.
