CLEVELAND, OH, April 2, 2021

Emerging middle and high school-aged artists in the literary, poetic,
visual, digital, and musical performing arts are invited to hone their
craft with Cleveland Opera Theater in a NEW outdoor Summer arts-intensive.
With the help of professional teaching artists, participants will spend one
week studying formal construction, lyrical and musical content, and the
practical considerations of developing a new opera before creating their
own, collaborative dramatic work that they will stage, rehearse, and
perform.

During the first week, aspiring writers, poets, and librettists have the
opportunity to craft their own opera scene. In the second and third weeks,
we invite students interested in all aspects of the performing arts to join
us in staging, rehearsing, and showcasing the scenes in a free performance
offered at Edgewater Park where family, friends, and the local community
can recognize the achievements of the young creators and performers.

Staff from Cleveland Metroparks Youth Outdoors program will lead the youth
through recreational activities and outdoor adventures (all equipment will
be provided). Youth Outdoors strives to meet the developmental needs of
youth living in or near the City of Cleveland through involvement in
outdoor adventure and nature exploration activities. By experiencing the
wonder of nature and developing skills in outdoor recreation, young people
gain a life-long appreciation and understanding of the importance of parks
and nature. They also learn valuable life skills in making decisions,
developing interests, communicating thoughts and feelings, making healthy
lifestyle choices, and fulfilling responsibilities to others in their group
and community.

Thanks to Starting Point’s generous funding, the program will be provided
free of charge including lunch, snacks, and all necessary materials.
Priority will be given to students living or attending school in the
Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood followed by students living or attending
school in the city of Cleveland.

The mission of Cleveland Opera Theater is to advance opera through
innovative, accessible, and inclusive experiences. Our vision and our motto
is Opera For All. We invite you to experience, explore, and engage in opera
with us! Follow us on social media @CLEOperaTheater.
