The Florida State Opera provides the Tallahassee community with performances and other activities designed to foster interest in opera and music theater, develop new audiences, stimulate the current opera-going public, and introduce children to opera’s many rewards.

The FSO’s educational outreach program is designed for young audiences. The goal is to expose young people to the genre and help them have a better understanding and appreciation for opera. Shows are performed in English by Florida State Opera students. The 30-45 minute opera is appropriate for elementary school or middle school.
