Opera Naples Youth Company
Opera Naples is excited to announce opportunities for youth, ages 7-18, to join the Opera Naples Youth Company. Members of the Youth Company grow as young musicians through choral and solo singing and perform in various events throughout Opera Naples' season. The youth company explores music from a range of genres including selections from opera, musical theater, popular songs, and folk songs, and many events qualify for volunteer hours. No prior experience or training is required.
