After limiting education offerings in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cincinnati Opera redesigned and adapted its education programs for 2021. The 2021 Education & Outreach Programs were developed to be able to be either virtual or in person, and be a true value-add to curriculums, in addition to spreading the beauty and knowledge of opera. The 2021 Education & Outreach Programs are projected to reach 5,000 K-12 students at schools throughout the Greater Cincinnati region. Some examples of 2021 Programs are:

- Share the Love Truck: Spring Tour

- Stories, Singing, and Snacks

- Opera Storybook Hour

- Mindful Opera Movement

- Spirituals in Motion

- Cincinnati Opera Masterclass

The above programs are designed to provide young audiences with: 1) direct and meaningful arts engagement; 2) a collaborative and inclusive arts experience; 3) an activity that supplements and supports their respective classroom learning while addressing specific curriculum goals and competencies.
