music education
Through imaginative education and outreach programmes, OEP aims to enhance the understanding and enjoyment of opera for all, especially for young people. For audiences we arrange pre-performance talks and other events and for young people we aim to provide a new programme of activity each year based around our Summer Tour opera. Planning for schools projects begins in January each year.
Music teachers who would like to discuss possible participation in one of our activity programmes should register their interest initially by sending an email.
"With other schools, our children took part in a workshop followed by a performance of La Cenerentola. They loved it. Not only was it their first real experience of live theatre, but they were able to learn at first hand about the vital role of teamwork in putting a show together successfully."

“I might be tempted to wager a respectable sum that OEP becomes a company of established national status.” (Serena Fenwick, Musical Pointers)
