Moving Opera! is a unique residency program that brings a group of five professional artists (a director, musical director/pianist and three singers) into your school to work closely with a group of music and/or performing arts students. During a week-long workshop, the program explores music theatre processes on a variety of levels, providing excellent opportunities for individual and ensemble development.

The residency culminates with a performance at the end of the workshop, to which the students’ peers and families are invited. This event may be used as a fundraising opportunity for the school, if desired.
