Student Night: Inspiring the Children of Today;
Creating the Audiences of Tomorrow
Each year over 2,000 students are introduced to the wonder of opera
through Student Night at the Opera. For many, Student Night at the
Opera is their first time attending an opera.
Once each season, Manitoba Opera
asks our patrons to support this
program through our “Pass the Hat”
initiative which is taking place at all
three performances of The Marriage
of Figaro. Following the intermission,
ushers will be passing baskets to
collect contributions in support
of Student Night at the Opera.
Students from Dauphin’s Barker School at the Opera.
“ Students love the quality of all aspects of the music and the
staging. It's a wonderful way for students to see a superior
performance in a fantastic venue for an affordable price.”
– Cherylene Kentner, Boissevain School
Contributions help to offset the cost of this program, which enables
students from Winnipeg and the surrounding region to attend the
dress rehearsal of our regular productions.
“ We had a big group to the opera, over 20 refugee students
new to Canada, and they just had a fabulous, fabulous time.
They are always thrilled to go! They love the story line,
the music, the costumes, the Concert Hall, and the ENTIRE
experience. This is a BIG highlight for my students…
it’s a huge gift for me, as an educator, to get these
discounted tickets each year.”
– Valerie Pierce, Grant Park High School
With your support, we are able to offer tickets for Student Night
at the Opera for only $12 per student. Your contribution also helps
to pay for the creation of study guides for teachers to help them
prepare students for the performance.
Thank you for helping us to inspire children today
and create the audiences of tomorrow.
