THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC CAUSED MAJOR DISRUPTIONS TO OPERADELAWARE'S SCHEDULED PERFORMANCES AND EVENTS DURING 2019-2020 THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON.

OPERADELAWARE'S EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS REACHED UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY CENTERS AND SCHOOLS THROUGH A MULTI-PRONGED APPROACH THAT PROVIDES STUDENTS WITH INSTRUCTION, TRAINING, PRESENTATIONS AND PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES. THE CURRICULUM, REPERTOIRE AND REHEARSAL TIME ARE CLOSELY TAILORED TO THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF EACH STUDENT BODY. ALTHOUGH THE COVID- 19 PANDEMIC FORCED US TO SHIFT TO VIRTUAL IMPLEMENTATION OF MANY OF THESE PROGRAMS MID YEAR OF 2019-2020 SEASON, WE WERE STILL ABLE TO PROVIDE OVER 6,100 TOTAL STUDENT INTERACTIONS THROUGH FREE PERFORMANCE AND PARTICIPATION BASED PROGRAMS INCLUDING THE WARNER ARTS ALLIANCE, A YEAR-ROUND PROGRAM THAT INTEGRATES THE ARTS INTO THE CURRICULUM AS A WAY TO REACH A VARIETY OF LEARNING STYLES. OTHER PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHOIR AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM AND OUTREACH EVENTS GEARED TOWARDS YOUNG AUDIENCES WHICH INTRODUCE CHILDREN TO THE POWER AND BEAUTY OF THE UNAMPLIFIED HUMAN VOICE, WHILE TEACHING IMPORTANT LESSONS ABOUT READING, WRITING AND MUSIC.
