Act Too Studio Opera Workshop

Teen-powered opera

Student Stories: Carina

We’re in another Golden Ticket hour, and it’s time for another student story! This one comes from 14-year-old Carina (sister of Milena), who is in her second year with the workshop!

“The Opera Workshop is an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. The program has taught me about a whole new genre of music. When I’m older and have had many more memories crowding my brain, this Workshop will be with me forever. Not only does this program teach you so much, but it also gives you a family. The Act Too Studio teachers (Jan, Bob, and Melinda) are some of the most inspirational and generous people I have ever met. They are AMAZING teachers and I’ve found, not only an incredible place of learning–but a family. They are so deserving of this money.

Another reason the Opera Workshop is so amazing is how unique of a program this is. Since when do you see teens singing opera? And learning about it? Where is that kind of program available? At Act Too Studio!! This is an incredible learning experience for everyone involved. We get to learn about the history of magnificent works of art, learn about their composers and learn how to perform these beautiful pieces. Please support this workshop, any amount helps. Thank you!!”

Please consider Carina and all our teens today during Valley Gives! DONATE NOW!

It's official: CLEARLY there is no hope for the future of opera. (These guys just haven't gotten the message yet.) https://t.co/XC8cQjafYu

This work we're doing, students, is part of something beautiful, ancient, & so important. Thankfully, the work never ends! <3 @JoyceDiDonato
