Student Backstage Tech Theater Tours offer High School students grades 9-12 the opportunity to go backstage during Tech Week. Led by Arizona Opera’s Production Department, students will tour a number of backstage areas and leave with insider knowledge about what goes on behind-the-scenes!
Musical Storytime with Arizona Opera
Join members of the Arizona Opera Education Department for Storytime with a musical twist! Travel with us as we visit Cinderella, explore the forest with Hansel and Gretel, take up residence at The Metropolitan Opera House, and more! Each selected story is woven together with musical experts to enhance the story being presented.
