Opera Atelier's: Public Making of an Opera

Opera Atelier is a renowned opera and ballet company dedicated to creating historically-informed, period productions that serve as complete artistic statements. Each production is meticulously crafted from the ground up, with equal focus on music, dance, acting, and design—all performed on authentic period instruments.

Since 1996, our Making of an Opera program has offered thousands of students an immersive look into the collaborative world of opera.

Now we’re thrilled to open this experience to you: a choral singer who is passionate about music and performance!

This unique event blends both music and non-music sessions, all carefully curated with the choral community in mind. Your students will get an insider look at how an opera comes to life, while being guided through a series of engaging workshops by Opera Atelier’s celebrated creative team and artists. The program is perfect for singers, performers, and any youth passionate about storytelling through the arts.
