Bringing the magic of opera to young people across Memphis
In‑School Programs from Opera Memphis is designed to immerse students—from Pre‑K through high school—in the world of live opera. Our professional artists visit schools to deliver high-energy, interactive performances, fostering a love for music and story through accessible, curriculum-aligned presentations.
We also present or co-present other family and youth programs throughout the year, including our Christmas Fiesta and our upcoming show at The Halloran Center!
A full touring production designed for elementary-aged students. Singers and musicians perform engaging excerpts tailored to young audiences, complete with audience interaction and Q&A segments. The Spring Tour introduces key opera themes—heroism, humor, friendship—while aligning with classroom learning objectives.
A hands-on residency program that brings Opera Memphis into the heart of the school community. Students participate in music-making, storytelling, and singing workshops led by our artists. This immersive experience builds confidence, vocal technique, and stage presence.

A two-week intensive, in partnership with the University of Memphis, for rising 7th through 12th grade students. Participants rehearse and stage a full production with professional artists, then perform for the public on the final day.
An evening that brings students to a live Opera Memphis performance. Schools and youth groups come to the theater to hear the company on stage, building familiarity with opera outside the classroom.
