OUR HISTORY OF OUTREACH

From 1997, OperaTunity Outreach housed a needs based scholarship program in vocal arts training, offering a holistically interactive performance experience that is tailored to suit the individual needs and talents of each student. Students were selected on teacher recommendation and through audition. Operatunity Outreach strived to expose its young performers to classical music through training in music theory, performance choir, theater arts, and performance opportunites in full-scale operatic productions, alongside internationally and nationally known directors and musicians. Through structure and self -esteem building, a student’s academic skills are greatly enhanced through the use of music reading and rhythmic study as well as memory work leading each student's independent future.

Founded in 1997 by Artistic Director, and Internationally renowned operatic soprano Andrea DelGiudice, Operatunity housed a youth opera/theater program providing access to the world of opera to students and families across the metro south region through music and theater arts educational enrichment programs and public performances.
