OPERAtion KIDS
OPERAtion KIDS is the education and outreach program of the Canadian Children's Opera Company. In 2009-10 OPERAtion KIDS features an after-school workshop that meets on Monday afternoons from 4:30 to 6:00pm. This season, OPERAtion KIDS will meet at Cecil Street Community Centre at 58 Cecil Street near College & Spadina.
- The workshop is appropriate for children ages 8 – 13. Although there is no audition required for the program, applicants are generally assessed to insure they are best placed in OPERAtion KIDS rather than the main program.
- OPERAtion KIDS runs from September to May, for 33 sessions and the cost is $20 per participant. This is possible with the generous support of The George Cedric Metcalf Foundation’s Strategic Initiatives Program.
- OPERAtion KIDS will introduce participants to the magical world of opera. Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience, knowledge or ability and the workshop includes acting, singing, prop-making, costumes, writing scripts, creating sets and stage management.
- Each year participants will create a opera that will be a unique work written, designed and performed by the students.
