Overview
Sydney Opera House’s House:Ed programs have been delivering engaging, contemporary performance experiences for school-aged students since 2004. The new 2010 program promises to build on past successes presenting work that resonates with young people by providing new insights into the world around them.
Arts education in NSW is a key strategic priority for Sydney Opera House. Programs such as our Arts Assist program ensure that children can have access to a Sydney Opera House experience whoever and wherever they are.
The 2010 House:Ed program promises to enliven, engage, educate and excite. Importantly, it will also reach out to young people around the state and show them where their imagination can take them.
