Student Dress Rehearsals

Let your students the experience the power, beauty and grandeur of live opera by bringing them to a Student Dress Rehearsal! Educators, you are invited to bring your classes in grades 7-12 and college to attend a final dress rehearsal. Every production is fully staged with soloists, chorus and orchestra, and takes place at the Ordway Center. All rehearsals have English captions projected above the stage.

Tip: Prepare your students by using an Opera Box!
