The Touring Children’s opera is an annual collaboration between the Community Performances and Partnerships and Opera departments, and is designed to introduce young audiences to opera through performances at several school and community-based sites throughout the greater Boston area.
Each year the Opera Department puts together a one act opera in English that reaches approximately 2000 elementary school students. NEC's Touring Children's Opera continues to be one of CPP's core educational programs, as it is both highly anticipated by partnering schools each year and provides NEC graduate opera students with an invaluable chance to learn how to present an educational opera for children.
