The time to expose young people to opera is at younger ages. The Chicago Public Schools have many programs of this type, including "Hip Hopera" created by the extraordinarily talented maestro Francesco Milioto. Chicago Opera Theatre and the CSO have extensive outreach programs to elementary and middle schools. Also, The now-defunct Opera Theatre North (Opera Theatre Highland Park) had much success with our programs for children, presenting the Magic Flute and other shorter operas. We also had an outreach program to middle schools to foster an appreciation for opera and classical music. Perhaps you should collaborate with those already successful programs. As a coordinator of Focus on the Arts, I can tell you that opera did appear in our 2011 Focus on the Arts and was presented in a way best fitting high school audiences. Ravinia should be applauded for their forward thinking and utilizing high school students for their marketing strategy.

ReplyI too have a 19 year old with autism. We are lucky to live in a community with terrific resources, great support and recreational services, and tolerance. My son Luke, was recently bar mitzvahed and won a big award through NSSRA. All I can say to you is it is a good idea to start now saving for his future. And take advantage of all the things in the area: Center for Enriched Living, NSSRA, Slammers Sports, park district programming, and AYSO. Luke has benefited from all of these -- more than the years of therapy he went through...
