About
Little Opera of the North is a program from Lyric Opera of the North that brings professional opera to elementary school students throughout Northern Minnesota.
Four professional singers, one pianist, a set, costumes and props arrive at the school, set up, and rehearse with their opera chorus — 16 students from the school! Then the LOON cast and their student chorus perform for the rest of the school, along with invited guests.
2020 – 2021 Season
While Schools adjust to new safety protocols, Little LOON is working on new ways to bring opera to our youngest patrons. Stay tuned for announcements in the weeks to come.
Schedule a Performance
Tentative dates for the 2020-2021 season include three weeks in the Winter. These dates are subject to change depending on interest, demand, and of course stay at home guidelines. We are aware that some of these dates coincide with MEA and scheduled breaks in some districts, but as we visit schools in many different schools districts, we feel confident that we will be able to schedule all interested schools during the weeks showing here:
- February 8-12, 2021
- February 15-19, 2021
- March 1-5, 2021
