Education and Engagement

Award-Winning. Interactive. Immersive.

San Francisco Opera Guild Education

San Francisco Opera Guild engages with the community, recognizing authentic voices as they emerge through the practice of music and storytelling, and supporting young artists in their development of world view and leadership potential.

We believe that participation in the performing arts leads to deep appreciation of beauty and diverse points of view. Our programs help young people grow into curious and caring citizens with a strong sense of self and empathy for others.
