The Dallas Opera is trying to make opera more accessible to kids by expanding its education program to include opera-related activities.
The Dallas Morning News reports on the expansion of the Dallas Opera's Kids Boot Camp, which has been offered since 2008 and is designed for kids in kindergarten through sixth grade.
It teaches kids how to build sets and costumes, how to sing and dance, and how to perform essential roles in an opera production, according to a press release.
But it's not just opera that's fun for kids.
