Our Opera Academy program serves as a vital educational resource, positively impacting thousands of young lives. More than just music education, this program is a powerful vehicle for social change, fostering community connection and collaboration.

Research shows that students who study music perform better academically, achieving higher grades, improved literacy, and are 24% more likely to graduate and pursue higher education.

Your support enables the Youth Opera of El Paso to address these critical issues affecting individuals and families in our community.

Your generous donations will directly support the 2026–2027 Opera Academy program. This season’s production features a unique double bill of Dear Edwina for younger elementary-aged audiences, and Into the Woods for older high school participants, providing students with an exceptional opportunity to develop their artistic, technical, and performance skills.

Both productions will be performed in the Plaza Philanthropy Theatre, February 26th, 27th and 28th, 2027, and will feature cast members from across the El Paso region. The project will also include collaborations with local arts organizations and professional artists, creating a rich and inclusive artistic experience for performers and audiences alike.
