Teachers Resources
The Dallas Opera offers exceptional educational opportunities for students of all ages. Programs offered include School Performances, Docent training, Spring Opera Tours, Arts Night at the Opera, Opera Scholars, and an interactive website for teachers and students. Curriculum content and training have been tailored so that they are more accessible and better meet teacher needs.

Statistics show that students involved in fine arts programs:
  • Score higher on verbal and math portions of tests
  • Have improved cognitive and language skills
  • Increase their potential for self-discovery
  • Increase their socialization and problem-solving skills
  • Have a better understanding of their world
  • Stay in school longer

We encourage you to get involved in our programs and are available to answer your questions or visit with you about our programs. Contact the Education Department at 214.443.1082.
