Opera Theatre of the Rockies

Opera Theatre of the Rockies Goes to School, our award-winning outreach and education program, educates teachers and helps them integrate opera in their curriculum. We provide support in the form of study guides, classroom visits to discuss our shows' content and production, and in-school performances. OTR then provides $5 tickets to our enrolled teachers and their students to attend a full operatic performance.

Our goal to aid teachers in integrating opera in their curriculum is not confined to the subject of music, but extends into science, math, writing, geography, and language. In total, OTR has performed for more than 21,000 students during the program's eight year existence.
