<p>Does anyone know anything about the HS Opera program being offered at the Metropolitan Opera in February? My son is all excited about the idea, but would have to miss his regular school (I think its scheduled around the NYC public school calendar).</p>
<p>This is from the Met Opera Guild site and gives the dates and prices:
[The</a> Metropolitan Opera Guild](<a href=“You are being redirected...”>You are being redirected...)</p>
<p>I don’t know that it would be of special value- primarily because I’m not a fan of tossing the label of “opera singer” into the same sentence as “high school student”. It’s pretty hard to cram all of those things, especially diction classes, into the 3-4 days of the program, so the benefits have to be weighed against the cost.
The February dates might conflict with audition dates for seniors, so if that’s in your son’s plans, be sure to look at the calendar.</p>
