A national pioneer in opera education for children

Twin Cities Opera Guild has excelled at introducing students to opera and quality music since 1952. We are dedicated to cultivating music education and outreach, both in the schools and for the general public. As an all-volunteer non-profit organization, we rely on our members and friends to help us fund our grants for music education.

How we make it happen

Our grants fund:

  • Delightful musical productions in-school, staged and performed by students -- in both the cast and orchestra
  • Interactive in-school student programs conducted by professional singers and musicians
  • After-school music programs for children, including student choirs
  • Special student matinees at operas produced by the Minnesota Opera 
  • Summer music programs for children
