Inspire Young Performers Kids love to perform. Kids love to sing. What better way to encourage kids' love of the art than
to have them perform it themselves? Challenging Repertoire Opera is a medium for mature singers and much of the standard operatic repertoire contains musical, vocal, and dramatic demands that are either beyond the reach of young performers or inappropriate for their age. By adapting familiar stories and elaborating on the plots to add characters and dramatic variety we have created a series of new works that are accessible and appropriate for young singers and yet are also musically challenging and artistically satisfying. The music for each opera was arranged using the works
of one great operatic composer, set in a way that mirrors each composer's
own operatic style, giving each opera a cohesiveness and stylistic integrity
which allows students a greater depth of understanding and appreciation for
these great masters.
(click here for a preview of our operas) Enlighten New Audiences Exquisite music, expressive voices, strong human emotions--opera has been thrilling audiences for hundreds of years. Why not let our kids learn for themselves what all the fuss has been about? Once this immortal music becomes a part of their lives, it will live in their hearts forever. Please feel free to look over our site and the works we
have to offer. If you would like to see a perusal score of a
