NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

This eight-week, in-school residency program brings advisors from the Opera Guild's Education Department into schools to help students form their own production company and create their own opera.

The group writes the script; designs the costumes, sets, props and lights; manages the production; and performs the work. Students audition for roles in the production.
