Community Involvement

In the spring, second graders from area schools visit Glimmerglass for backstage tours for a behind-the-scenes look at the theater and the preparation process.

Glimmerglass sponsors the Music Student Rewards Program, which annually awards two tickets to a Festival production to local students who receive music awards from their high school. This program has been expanded to more than 100 high schools in the region. Glimmerglass’s new youth ticket prices, paired with programs like the company’s Music Student Rewards Program, have been developed to expose young people to opera. For more information, contact Becky Gill at bgill@glimmerglass.org.

Each summer, the Glimmerglass Guild presents “Talking Opera,” a series of free, educational seminars that delve into the history and details surrounding the upcoming productions.

Glimmerglass staff members are happy to speak at local high schools about the careers available in the performing arts. To find out more information, contact Kira Delanoy, Director of Communications, at kdelanoy@glimmerglass.org.
