Programs include artist-in-residence and after school multi-session projects, outreach, in-school performances, main-stage professional performances, interactive assemblies and performances in cross collaboration with other non-profits. In the last nine years, the OPERAtunity education and outreach program has reached over 35,000 children, youth and adults throughout the state of Rhode Island.
