The COVID-19 public health emergency has meant that the Indianapolis Opera has had to cancel or postpone its normal educational outreach programming. By creatively embracing technology, the company is able to continue championing the vocal arts through a series of videos targeting K-12 students. Downloadable curriculum helps seasoned educators as well as parents-turned-educators craft an appropriate educational experience for students.
