Opera in the Classroom ImageOpera in the Classroom introduces children to opera through five visits to a classroom by a member of the Lyric Opera Education Corps. Through the study of a specific opera students learn opera essentials and basic listening skills. The grand finale is a lively workshop performance by students. Gaetano Donizetti's The Elixir of Love is the featured opera for the 2009/10 academic year.
