Youth Opera Program
OperaDelaware’s Youth Opera Program gives children (Grades 3-12) a chance to develop key performance and technical skills while building confidence in a nurturing environment. Whether they’re just trying to get their feet wet or a dedicated theatre enthusiast, YOP is designed to enhance their abilities and help them begin to explore a new, wide world of opportunities.
Sessions are led by energetic and experienced theater professionals who simply have one goal in mind: to develop the natural talent within each and every one of the YOP participants. That talent may not always be so easy to find, and our teachers understand the amount of hard work each student must exert to hone their skills. Because of this, they design fun and creative learning environments that truly inspire children – because when hard work is enjoyable, it doesn’t seem much like work at all.
Fall and Winter Sessions
The focus of our fall and winter sessions is centered on musical or operatic productions. Students attend weekend rehearsals where they are able to practice voice, dance, movement and acting. These sessions run on Saturdays from 1pm - 5pm and Sundays from 6pm - 9pm. Participants have varying schedules according to their role.
This winter’s Youth Opera Production, Disney's Mulan, Jr., will begin rehearsals January 9, 2010 and perform on Friday, March 5th and Saturday, March 6th at The Tatnall School. Auditions for leads will be held on Saturday, December 12th from 12pm - 3pm. Program Fee: $195. Audition Fee: $25 (credited towards program fee).
