Come one, come all! Opera Carolina invites you to attend the final dress rehearsal for each opera where you can experience great seats, great music, and great fun.

Making opera more easy and accessible than ever for K-12 students and their chaperones*, we provide in depth guides for each opera, complete with synopses, background information, activities and more. Student Night attendees also enjoy a live Q&A with the cast at intermission. You can interact with international opera singers and have your questions answered. (*Please note that the number of adults may not outweigh the number of students.)

Not fluent in Italian or other foreign languages? No worries. Each opera is accompanied by English supertitles and the opera-specific study guides offer a detailed plot synopsis.

See YOU at the opera!

For more information or to purchase passes, please send us an email or call 704.332.7177, x 202. Passes are purchased through Opera Carolina, not the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center's Box Office.

Why Should I Attend Student Night?

Student Night

"I never thought I'd go to an opera, much less fall in love with it! I will definitely be back next year!"

"I believe that whole experience was cool. It's not very often people at our age get to experience opera, especially with friends. It [was] worthwhile."

"This was great! Thank you for the opportunity to see an opera for an affordable price - loved it!"
