Final Dress Rehearsal Passes for Students
BLO invites high school and college students to attend the final dress rehearsals of its productions. Often this is students’ first experience with opera. Student study materials are provided. In exchange for passes, BLO requests student responses about the production. Stand-out responses may be featured in BLO media. Passes are first come, first served and subject to availability. The request period closes two weeks before the final dress rehearsal.
“I was able to convince some friends who had never seen an opera before to join and they enjoyed it! We are planning to attend other operas in the future.” –College Student
“I think I have a new-found love for opera.” –Student Participant
Requests for passes open approximately six weeks before each Final Dress Rehearsal. If you are a high school teacher or college professor not on currently our mailing list and would like to receive notifications of Final Dress Rehearsals, please contact education@blo.org with your name, school, and subject/department you teach. If you have any additional questions about The Final Dress Rehearsal program for students please email education@blo.org or call 617.542.6772.
