In Los Angeles, where music education in schools is becoming a rarity, VOPA is stepping up to fill the void. Research, like the study from Professor Christopher Johnson at the University of Kansas, clearly shows the benefits of strong music programs in enhancing students' skills in subjects like English and math.
At VOPA, we're all about making sure that students, no matter their background or financial situation, get the chance to discover and enjoy music and theater. It's about bringing the arts back into education in a fun and engaging way. More Info
The heart of VOPA's outreach efforts symbolizes our deep-rooted commitment to the community. Opera Tree's initiatives ensure that the transformative power of live music theater reaches everyone, especially those who might otherwise miss out on these enriching experiences.
It has been the company’s goal, from our very first production almost 20 years ago, to reach out to the most under-served members of our community in any way we can. We began by giving complimentary tickets to any person who couldn’t afford them. That small gift has grown, blossomed, and eventually become the fruit that has fed hundreds of our community’s most underprivileged members, including children, families, and seniors.“Opera Tree” represents our symbiotic relationship with the community. Its branches, laden with the fruits of art, reach out to nourish the San Fernando Valley. The tree’s trunk, formed by two hands clasping each other, signifies our foundational belief in mutual support and collaboration. As VOPA grows, so too do its roots, delving deeper into the community, sustained by local leaders, businesses, and individuals.
Believing that everyone deserves access to the transformative power of the arts, VOPA's low-income ticket program ensures that financial constraints are never a barrier to experiencing our events.
