Education and outreach programs include the following:the pueblo opera program brings students, elders, and chaperones to a final dress rehearsal for an opera in the current season. Begun in 1973, 19 pueblos and 3 reservations attend these fully staged productions. Participants in the youth night program attended a final full dress rehearsal at greatly reduced prices. Students in elementary and middle school who participate in the arts integration partnership work with artists-in-residence to explore learning through the performing arts; often writing, producing, and performing their own operas both in-school and after school. Spring opera tours present a free introduction to opera in schools and communitites in new mexico and western texas. Backstage tours in the opera's theater are offered during the week throughout the summer festival season. Community concerts are free events featuring apprentice singers during the summer and christmas holiday season in different venues.
