Carolina Opera Experience
June 22-26, 2026
Campers get an exciting, hands-on experience in the art of opera, and the week ends with a public performance. Kids have fun, make new friends, and experience the excitement of performing arts while working with professionals!
The program gives children with varying levels of musical ability or an interest in the performing arts an educational experience and the opportunity to gain insight by working with talented and dedicated professionals. They participate in daily workshops that teach the overall techniques of opera production.
Children work with professional-level opera singers, directors and designers as they explore the basics of creating characters with and through music; participate in voice, music reading and rhythm exercises; and learn about set lighting and costume design. Basic knowledge of music and singing is required.
Carolina Opera Experience is directed by Ellen Douglas Schlaefer.
