It is simply arts integration at its finest!”

“Bravo, Atlanta Opera Studio Artists! Even while stuck inside our separate houses, my students were filled with hope and joy as beautiful singing flowed out of their devices. Your informative, encouraging discussion proved that our voices can be heard, even when our school buildings are closed. Thank you for sharing your love of singing with my talented students.”
– Marla Baldwin, Palmer Middle School, 2020
“Bringing professional theater artists into my virtual classroom experience has been wonderfully enriching to both my students and my program. I am grateful that my students are able to see “theater” is so much more than just performance – it’s a collaboration of many, many different professionals working toward one goal. Thank you so much!”
