While we can’t yet come together for a live performance, we are thrilled to share this exciting new endeavor with you!
This program includes a six-week curriculum centered on two performances from the Michigan Opera Theatre Children’s Chorus: 2018’s H.M.S. Pinafore and a brand-new "virtual" performance of The Very Last Green Thing. This one-act opera is a unique collaboration of more than 400 video submissions by 44 parents and students! Students and teachers are encouraged to tune in to enjoy these two very special performances:
