Meet the Artists Behind The Elixir of Love

We’re excited to share a new video series that takes you behind the scenes of Opera for the Young’s 2025-26 season. Faces of Elixir introduces the incredible singers, musicians, and creative team who bring our touring productions to life.

In these short interviews, artists share why they joined OFTY, what rehearsal week is really like, and the unforgettable moments they’ve experienced performing for thousands of students across the Midwest. You’ll hear stories of kids cheering opera high notes, young performers making lines their own, and even former OFTY students who grew up to become music teachers bringing the program back to their schools.

🎥 New episodes added every week from November 26 – January 30. Watch the series here:

These stories reflect the heart of our mission: inspiring young people through live opera and creating joyful, memorable experiences in school communities.

Thank you for supporting this work and helping us bring opera to the next generation.
