Project Title: Portland Opera to Go
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Portland Opera to Go is Portland Opera’s statewide arts educational tour aimed at young audiences. For over two decades, POGO has shared inclusive arts experiences with students, educators, and community members around the region. POGO company members travel over 5,000 miles and connect with between 8,000 and 12,000 K-12 students and their educators every year. <\/p>\n
POGO presents 50-minute versions of classic and contemporary operas, including The Magic Flute, La Boheme, Cinderella, The Barber of Seville, and others. These operas are adapted with young audiences in mind and performed in English or bilingually in English and Spanish. <\/p>\n
To date, the program has shared opera with nearly 300,000 student and community audience members living in Oregon, southern Washington, northern California, western Idaho, and northern Nevada.<\/p>\n
Performances take place in school gyms, libraries, cafeterias, classrooms, and community centers \u2013 all with full costumes, portable scenery, and piano accompaniment. In addition to performances, our cast members give in-class workshops about the basics of music and singing, and we provide a 100+ page teacher\u2019s guide to all schools. This guide contains lessons and activities in music, math, social studies, and language arts that relate to the opera, highlighting curricular connections and aligned to state curriculum standards.<\/p>\n
POGO focuses on schools facing barriers to accessing the arts \u2013 whether these barriers are economic, geographical, or in many cases, both. The program was created in response to Oregon educators\u2019 requests for high-quality arts experiences amid sweeping state education budget cuts, and we have a long and successful history of building relationships with schools, educators, and communities. Over 50% of schools visited in rural areas, and at least 25% are identified as Title I, with high numbers of students living in poverty. POGO presents opera an in an engaging, accessible way, dispels common stereotypes, and shows how music can connect to a variety of academic disciplines.\n<\/p>\n
