Education Programs
In addition to its mainstage operas, Tulsa Opera maintains an extensive education and outreach program that provides opportunities for adults and children statewide. These programs include Opera on Tour!, a statewide school tour; the Studio Artist Program, an apprenticeship program for young professional singers; the Student Matinee, an annual full-length opera performance for 2,300 schoolchildren; and teacher workshops. Additionally, Tulsa Youth Opera, a tuition-free training program for students in grades 3-12, performs youth opera productions and serves as the company's resident children's chorus. For the 2012-2013 15th Anniversary Season, Tulsa Youth Opera will mount a production of Hans Krasa's Brundibar, which was the first opera performed by the group in 1997.

Famous quotes containing the words education and/or programs:
“As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
