We are very proud of our Opera Unlimited Summer Opera Day Camp. Since 2002, the camp has provided an enriching and fun experience for children, educating them in the many aspects of music and theater. Many of our students return time and again and say that the camp is the highlight of their year. A large number of our students have gone on to major in music in college and to careers in music. Several of them credit our camp with inspiring them to pursue their music careers.
At each camp, we produce an operetta, which we present to the public at the end. This summer, we will produce one of our favorite Gilbert & Sullivan operas, Ruddigore, a story with ghosts, witch’s curses, mistaken identities, and, of course, romance. We have presented Ruddigore twice before, and everyone loved it.
The camp location will again be The Sandia Presbyterian Church on Paseo del Norte, with a few sessions elsewhere.
Tentative dates for camp are as follows:
First meetings to hear the kids sing: Fri. May 22 & Sat. May 23
Rehearsals begin June 8 and run through July 9: 1-4 PM.
Performances: July 10 and July 11 at 7 PM.
