Access Opera

Lessons Library

Austin Opera values our partnerships with educators and strives to make opera education easy and fun for teachers and students alike. Below are the TEKS-aligned Interactive Resource Guides from past Access Opera Performances, which include cast and creative team interview videos, animated listening maps, lessons on the history of each piece and so much more!

I loved watching my students engage in this opera experience. They were so excited, and this was thanks to the wonderful preparation you made possible for them all. Understanding the history, the set, the music, and the story line made it VERY accessible for them.
From 12-year-old student: 'I never thought I'd like opera, but I can't wait to see the next one.' From 11-year-old girl: 'That was about the coolest thing I've ever seen.' Because of the availability of this program to free dress rehearsals, Austin Opera has succeeded in raising up a new generation of opera lovers.
