For Schools

60th Anniversary State Tour of The Pirates of Penzance

Tulsa Opera continues its interactive touring productions each winter and spring. Students within your school will participate as “the chorus” in our productions led by professional opera singers when the touring production visits your school.

Your students will enjoy singing classic music and performing with professional opera singers. Curriculum materials and a teaching CD for your school’s “chorus members” are provided by the Tulsa Opera Education Department to assist in preparing your students for the in-school performance in your school. Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity!

Performance Information:

Adult performers:	4-6 professional opera singers and pianist provided by Tulsa Opera
Student performers:	15 students from your school (both girls and boys please!)
Performance length:	An hour-long residency “rehearsal” with the students and professionals, followed by a 45-minute performance and a 15-minute Q&A session
