Opera Adventures Program

The Opera Atelier is pleased to present the Arts Adventures/Opera Adventures Programs, which are funded through the Children's Trust and administered by the Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs. The Opera Atelier thanks these outstanding organizations for their essential support.

The Opera Adventures Program is an opera, music, and arts immersion program for students ages 5-17. It will take place from February to May, at The Opera Atelier Studios at the Manuel Artime Theater and Community Center in Miami's Little Havana. The Arts Adventures Program is open to children and youngsters wishing to experience different artistic expressions, including fine arts, music, and theatre.  

The Opera Atelier practices a student-centered approach to education. Through comprehensive hands-on music projects, students construct their own knowledge in context. Learning objectives around classical music are planned so that students can engage with the material in different ways and at their individual level, from the more concrete to the abstract. Multi-age groups alternate with groups of similar levels in a nurturing environment that fosters positive interactions. Students often work in small groups. Students support each other’s learning and often teach each other.

A linguistically sensitive faculty supports children whose English skills are still limited. Parents/guardians will have the opportunity to actively participate in learning activities with students through classes, coaching, and mentorship.
