About the provider

Pacific Opera Project’s Education & Engagement Department was established in 2021. Its mission is to reimagine opera as an affordable adventure by making unforgettable, entertaining performances accessible for all. The program offers an inclusive and welcoming environment where youth and adults, especially those in Northeast Los Angeles and those who may not otherwise have access, can experience opera as a vehicle for human connection, creativity, and entertainment. It also introduces high-quality opera education to children in Title I schools and historically underserved neighborhoods and engages with the Highland Park community at POP HQ. The Los Angeles Times listed it as "BEST IN CLASSICAL MUSIC" in December 2024.

Presented in English. Run time: Approx. 60 mins with no intermission. Designed for children ages 2 and up and their families. Join us early for kid-friendly activities and crafts.
