How can you tap into the benefits of live opera? Attending our 50-minute, Opera Improv!

Portland Opera To Go, our touring education and outreach arm, hit the road in January, taking the power of opera and the importance of music to thousands of children in schools throughout Oregon. Their 50-minute, Opera Improv is crisscrossing the state with performances in areas as disparate as Central Point, Irrigon, Dayville, Paisley—really, Oregon A to Z!

Opera Improv offers students the opportunity to learn the elements of opera and help create their own “mini-opera” in a “Choose Your Own Adventure” format. Lively, informative, unexpected—but most of all, fun—this 50-minute, highly interactive assembly is designed to fit seamlessly into any school schedule and space. Conceived and directed by Kristine McIntyre, Opera Improv also includes a curriculum introducing the building blocks of opera.
