This project offers children an exceptional opportunity to engage directly with opera and all the proven benefits that learning through the expressive arts brings. Suitable
Supported by the Peter Moores Foundation, the project runs over 10 weeks and is accompanied by an extensive Teachers’ Resource Pack, CD and a twilight INSET session. At all times EPOC aims to support teachers to achieve the maximum benefit from our projects.

English Pocket Opera Company
EPOC was founded in 1993. For over a decade, EPOC has been touring productions and performing concerts across Britain and abroad.
At the heart of the company’s work is a deep belief in the educational benefit of a lifelong exposure to opera: making music, singing songs, giving voice to the drama and poetry of life. In 2002 a programme of education work was started to create unique and accessible music and opera education experiences for young people and teachers alike.
