Students participate in: character development, plot creation, writing the libretto, composing the music, casting, paint the backdrops, and performance.
The process allows students to work closely with professional performers and musicians from Opera Australia.

“I didn’t know much about opera, & the workshops taught me so much about all aspects of the production & performance that are in an Opera.
Writing the libretto & painting the sets was so much fun, I honestly can’t think of anything negative, the whole thing was an amazing experience.”
