An Opera Squad Takeover Day exposes the whole school community to opera, connects students and staff with professionals working in the industry, and uses opera as a stimulus for creative learning and curriculum support.
We deliver these immersive days of opera in partner schools across the country to:
- Introduce the key components of Opera and develop young people’s understanding of how Opera works
- Challenge students’ perceptions of Opera and break down stereotypes
- Launch projects that can be continued by teachers in school throughout the term
- Bring the school community together in an immersive, live event.
Schools are selected through local partnerships or in response to ENO activity in that area.
