Opera belongs to everyone.

Opera for All (OFA) is COT’s comprehensive arts learning program for Chicago Public Schools students.
Opera for All inspires students to understand the art by participating in it, both in production and in performance.

During OFA sessions, Teaching Artists guide each classroom through the stages of creating, producing, and performing their own musical shows. In addition to script writing, composing, painting, dancing, and performing, students are able to attend a professional opera performance.

Opera for All is free for all participating schools.

To learn more about bringing OFA into your school or classroom,

Opera for All is supported by the Lloyd A. Fry Foundation, The Siragusa Family Foundation, Marijane Deters, Mary and Lionel Go, Mary Houston, and Jeanne LaDuke.
