The Washington National Opera Offers Discounted Tickets to Kennedy Center Event

Kids can go backstage at the upcoming Washington National Opera Look-See

The Opera Look-In program has been charming young audiences in the greater DC area for over ten years. 

Students visit the Kennedy Center Opera House to learn about the behind-the-scenes magic of opera, including lighting design, scene changes, stage tricks, musical themes, and much more. 

Opera is a naturally multi-dimensional and multimedia art form, and by presenting its many facets, the Look-In creates a dynamic experience for students from 3^rd to 6^th grade.

Designed specifically to academically and creatively engage children through a variety of opera repertoire, this experience leaves students charmed and singing for more! 

The Opera Look-In is much more than just a day at the Opera House.
