Academy joins the Delta School District's other innovative Academy programs.

Vancouver Opera and the Delta School District are pleased to announce a new partnership: the Opera and Performance Academy. Joining the Delta School District's roster of other Academies, this new program gives high school students who love to "Sing, Act and Create" the opportunity to work with professionals from Vancouver Opera and with educators specializing in music and theatre. 

Registration opens February 1st, 2016 for the September 2016 program. The Opera and Performance Academy is located at Delta Secondary School and open to all grade 8 - 12 students in the Delta and other school districts. Students in the program will earn credits towards graduation.

For two blocks every second afternoon, students who love theatre and music will be able to pursue their passions by studying voice, acting, script and score writing and attending master classes with professionals. Students in the Academy will also attend Vancouver Opera dress rehearsals, go backstage, have opportunities to participate in apprenticeship programs and participate in the Vancouver Opera Festival 2017.

More information and registration is available at deltaacademies.ca.
