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:
“The Supreme Court would have pleased me more if they had concerned themselves about enforcing the compulsory education provisions for Negroes in the South as is done for white children. The next ten years would be better spent in appointing truant officers and looking after conditions in the homes from which the children come. Use to the limit what we already have.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
