Outreach
“Listening to and performing music reactivates areas of the brain associated with memory, reasoning, speech, emotion, and reward.”
Dr. Anne Fabiny, Harvard Women's Health Watch
At Kitsap Opera, we believe seniors are invaluable members of our community, and we honor their contributions and love for the arts. Through Kitsap Opera Outreach, we bring live opera performances directly to senior centers, providing an opportunity for residents to enjoy the beauty and inspiration of music without having to travel. Our diverse programming is designed to uplift, entertain, and engage, fostering a sense of connection and belonging. Kitsap Opera is proud to offer these performances, ensuring that all seniors can continue to experience the joy of opera. Kitsap Opera performers also travel to local community centers, churches or any place where your community gathers. Our standard pricing is listed below, though reduced pricing may be available to non-profit organizations.
