We believe we have a responsibility to future generations to keep opera alive as an art form and dedicate ourselves to enriching Utahns throughout the entire year by doing educational programs, events and trainings for learners of every age.
Elementary school educational outreach: Lyrical Opera Theater performs "Little Red Riding Hood...children's opera" for elementary students throughout Utah.
Individual and group artists trainings: Our master teachers provide hundreds of hours of free trainings for artists of every age that are involved in our operas and concert performances. Artists are taught music theory including note-reading, rhythm, style and musical nuances, and are coached in Italian, French and German languages as well as acting and performance skills.
We provide supertitle translations, educational materials and fun-facts for everyone that attends our operas to break down the barriers and show everyone that opera is a beautiful and accessible art form. Lyrical Opera Theater also seeks new and exciting ways to go deeper into our community and encompass people of every heritage into the world of opera.
