Opera Look-In
Grades 3-6
Bring your students to the opera!
The Opera Look-In program has been charming young audiences in the greater DC area for over ten years.
Students visit the Kennedy Center Opera House to learn about the behind-the-scenes magic of opera, including lighting design, scene changes, stage tricks, musical themes, and much more.
Opera is a naturally multi-dimensional and multimedia art form, and by presenting its many facets, the Look-In creates a dynamic experience for students from 3rd to 6th grade.
Designed specifically to academically and creatively engage children through a variety of opera repertoire, this experience leaves students charmed and singing for more!
The Opera Look-In is much more than just a day at the Opera House. The full program includes:
-
A dynamic, in-theater performance
-
Professional development workshop for every participating educator
-
Study materials and resources aligned to national standards and local curricula*
-
WNO Education Ambassadors providing a pre-performance, in-class introduction for every participating class*

“This was an excellent presentation. It was age appropriate, engaging, and very informative. This performance did as much for the teachers as it did for the students. Our class will attend as many of these presentations as our schedules will allow.” -Teacher who attended the Opera Look-In |
