Summer is on the horizon, and we are all on the lookout for the ultimate summer experience for our kids. If you’re searching for an enriching, fun-filled activity that will inspire a lifelong love for the arts, look no further than Houston Grand Opera’s Summer Camps! As the temperatures rise and the school year draws to a close, Houston Grand Opera offers a place for your child to explore the wondrous world of music and performance. For aspiring singers, budding performers, or kids simply eager to delve into new adventures, these camps will provide the perfect blend of education and excitement.
Houston Grand Opera, founded in our great city of Houston in 1955, prides itself in its commitment to sharing the arts with our community. It is the only opera house in the world to have received an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Tony! With a commitment to the future of opera through initiatives that engage new audiences, Houston Grand Opera is proud to present two incredible opera camps this summer for kids in grades 3-12 with scholarships available for both.
Create an Opera Camp
The Create an Opera Camp, June 10-14, is perfect for young people just dipping their toes into the joy of music. In partnership with Wheeler Avenue Baptist, this unique camp experience is specifically for both singers and non singers alike in grades 3-8. Your child will spend the week collaborating with fellow campers to craft, design, and perform their very own captivating musical masterpiece inspired by a beloved children’s story. No matter their skill level, this camp is sure to be a fantastic opportunity for your child to grow, learn, and shine, both on stage and off!
Art of Opera Camp
For high school students eager to take their talents to the next level, Houston Grand Opera is offering The Art of Opera Camp, a three-week opera intensive that promises to enhance their vocal and dramatic skills. This camp will run from July 1-19 and is specifically tailored for students with moderate to advanced vocal performance and/or technical theater experience. Located at the prestigious Wortham Theater, this experience will offer students the chance to immerse themselves in the world of opera like never before. From rehearsing scenes from classic and modern operas to showcasing their skills on stage, your teen will experience an unforgettable journey into the heart of performance art.
Students with interest and experience in backstage and technical roles (i.e., set design, costume, props, lighting, stage management, etc.) are encouraged to apply for the Art of Opera camp. Whether your child is a rising ninth-grader or a graduated senior, if they have a passion for vocal performance or technical theater, they will experience this summer filled with song, camaraderie, and artistic growth. Please note that this camp is designed specifically for those teens with experience in vocal performance and/or technical theater, ensuring an enriching experience for all involved.
