More Opera Camp stars

Lyric Opera of Kansas City artists Ida Nicolosi, left, and Audrey Horn perform a portion of “La Boheme” in which they pretend to smell outdated food and throw it in the trash during opera camp at the Lyric Opera of Kansas City on July 31.

Wow! Even more of our talented opera campers became stars last week!

The Liberty Tribune highlighted campers Corey Maisch, Emma King, Elizabeth Bauer and camp councilor (and Wicked Wolf of the West) Denise Knowlton.

Opera Camp performance video

Wow — we had such a great time at Opera Camp this year! Please enjoy this video excerpt from the culminating public performance of The Three Little Pigs.

I love how stage director Linda Ade Brand and education director Paula Winans have integrated the campers into the performance!
