In ETO Perform workshops, students co-create and stage a brand new mini-opera in just one day 🎭

This season, students at 4 schools across England created operas inspired by the story of Pagliacci and had the opportunity to see ETO's production of the show and a backstage tour 🎶

From composing to performing to stage management, ETO Perform introduces young people to opera and all the various roles and careers available in the performing arts!
