Elementary Student Matinees

Best field trip ever? (We think so.) 

Kids experience the magic of opera with an interactive performance written just for them on an exciting trip to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion—for free*.

Verdi Opera Tales is a zany musical adventure written especially for kids. Join us as we explore the world of Verdi's most famous operas, featuring excerpts from La Traviata, Rigoletto, Falstaff, and more.

Applications are now closed. Check back soon for information about our spring season.

Teachers who have been accepted into our fall program must attend a required orientation via Zoom on Friday, October 11.
*Bus transportation not included.
