In-School Touring Program: This nationally recognized program is the cornerstone of our education and outreach efforts, featuring our acclaimed Spectrum Resident Artists, who tour every year to bring opera programs to schools and communities throughout Virginia.

Student Night at the Opera: These special nights allow students in Norfolk to experience their own evenings at the opera, giving them a chance to discover the joy of opera at a reduced ticket price.

Student Matinee: Much like the Student Night at the Opera performances, our Student Matinees allow students to attend special matinee performances for an extremely affordable price.


Operation Opera: One of the most innovative programs offered by Virginia Opera is Operation Opera, which is the only one of its kind in the United States, offering hundreds of free presentations to community venues throughout Virginia every year. Presentations are not only free - but they can be customized to suit your particular group! Click here to book one today.


Study Guides: Every Virginia Opera mainstage production has a corresponding study guide created specifically to correlate with Virginia Standards of Learning. These guides include background information, student worksheets, library activities and more, and encourages educators to incorporate the arts into the existing curriculum. It is Virginia Opera's aim to support the academic and artistic growth and development of students across the Commonwealth.

Family Programs: Virginia Opera is making it easier than ever for families to enjoy the cultural arts together through events such as the highly-successful Family Day at the Opera.

Education & Outreach Staff: Our staff is professional, knowledgeable and very much in tune with the needs of educators and students in Virginia - and they are here for you!
