🎭✨ At OCM, we're committed to fostering artists at every level, including our youngest performers! We were thrilled to have six talented children join our La Bohème children's chorus.

Just like , we auditioned young singers with "Happy Birthday"! Check out this recent New York Times article about auditions at the Met: "The Pint-Size Singers Hoping to Be Opera Stars"

✨ Let's hear it for our Young Artists! ✨

Last weekend, our Young Artist Program completed their time in Middlebury with two performances of Gianni Schicchi! Not only did they rehearse and perform their own opera, they were also chorus members in La Bohème and were ready to jump in as understudies for principal roles. We're so lucky to have their talent at OCM and can't wait to see what's next for this incredible group! 🎶

Special thanks to the Young Artist Program's Guest Stage Director Pat Diamond, Assistant Stage Director Anne Sutton, Music Director Alejandro Roca, and pianist Deniz Uz!!

That's a wrap on our 22nd season! ✨

From the heart-wrenching romance of La Bohème on our mainstage to the delightful comedy of Gianni Schicchi showcasing our incredible Young Artist Program, we've experienced the full spectrum of operatic emotion this spring. Thank you to our phenomenal cast, crew, and audiences who made this season unforgettable. 🎭🌟
