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:
“In the years of the Roman Republic, before the Christian era, Roman education was meant to produce those character traits that would make the ideal family man. Children were taught primarily to be good to their families. To revere gods, one’s parents, and the laws of the state were the primary lessons for Roman boys. Cicero described the goal of their child rearing as “self- control, combined with dutiful affection to parents, and kindliness to kindred.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
