Through the Metropolitan Opera’s Access Opera Program, Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School chorus teacher Ms. Rachel White has been bringing her students to performances at the venue for about seven years. On this trip, students even got to meet famous tenor Rolando Villazon and get his autograph.

“The opera is not a place most students would get to experience on their own,” said Ms. White. “I’m so grateful that the Metropolitan Opera provides these opportunities, and that we are able to introduce young people to this exciting art form.”
