Fort Worth Opera Association Inc

The Fort Worth Opera Studio, founded in 2002, includes four young Lesley Artists chosen each year from national auditions to be in residence with Fort Worth Opera in order to continue their training as they prepare for professional careers. They perform in the FWO children's Opera Theater in addition to roles in our main productions and civic impact shows. Additionally, these young artists receive lessons and coaching, language and movement classes as well as classes on Opera as a business.

Children's Opera Theatre, in existence for over thirty years, reaches over 30,0000 students each year in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Additionally, this department has expanded and repositioned itself to include Civic Impact and Engagement performances. This allows us to not only reach children in area schools, but also at events both adults and children are gathered. This year's shows produced for the children were Bienvenidos! and Hansel and Gretel.
