OPERA FOR THE YOUNG®

Opera for the Young (OFY) is a preeminent producer and presenter of opera for children in the United States, and since 1970 we have introduced more than 2 million children to opera. This year, our Hansel and Gretel will be an introduction for 80,000 more.

Opera for the Young is a very special organization in that we involve students at each school in their performance. The sense of pride and accomplishment that children gain from performing onstage with our professional artists is immeasurable, but we know we are helping create the future enthusiasts, as well as performers. And, in the here-and-now, we provide professional opportunities for young performing artists who shine in our growing collection of operas adapted especially for children.

Opera for the Young® keeps school performances affordable through its own fundraising efforts. We are able to offer our programming at 40% of the actual cost through the generous support of individuals, corporations, foundations and government funding.
