Under the guidance of Opera Parallèle’s professional staff and artistic team and supervised by the Educational Programs Director Roma Olvera, the program recruits music students and young artists from the San Francisco Bay Area to share their skills, knowledge, and leadership with partnering schools, enabling students to fully experience contemporary opera.

“Sunday afternoon’s performance was a small miracle of theatrical inventiveness and musical delight.” -Joshua Kosman, The San Francisco Chronicle
