Crash Course Opera Registration 24/25

School classes that may never have had any contact with classical music have the opportunity to get to know two great cultural institutions from a very personal point of view.

The Cologne Opera and the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne now offer a unique look behind the scenes.

First, the students get to know the orchestra: Sitting next to their favourite instrument, they experience a half-hour rehearsal of the musicians for the next opera production. In preparation, they get an introduction where they can learn a lot about the orchestra. Afterwards, the piece is examined from a different angle: In a scenic workshop, the students learn everything about the content of the opera and can try out their own theatre skills.
