Spotlight on Opera is the summer training program in residence at Tulsa Opera. Every year from mid-July through early August, you’ll catch usd at one of many free and ticketed events we offer around town, including our touring children’s opera, Welcome Concert, mainstage shows, receptions, and more!
Share a Love for the spotlight?
Here are the many ways YOU can get involved!
Book a performance of our children’s opera for your church, school, or community organization!
Since 2015, Spotlight has delighted children across Louisiana, Texas, and now Oklahoma with our touring children’s opera. These are short, English-language performances suitable for children aged three and up. They require minimal space, and we can bring our own piano (or use yours). We have performed them in classrooms, museums, libraries, community centers, hospitals, art galleries, and churches!

Give the gift of opera to a first-time operagoer via Project VIP!
At Spotlight, our motto is “Opera for Everybody,” and everyone is welcome to our performances. Project VIP is our initiative to welcome first-time operagoers from the community to enjoy a performance and VIP experience free of charge. Spotlight students will distribute special tickets as they patronize local businesses, visit community centers, libraries, and senior homes, and interact with Tulsa residents daily.
