Fort Worth Opera hosts four young professional singers-in-residence, The Hattie Mae Lesley Apprentice Artists. The Apprentice Artists gain training and experience, mostly through the company's Children's Opera Theatre, a program that, according to the opera company, brings opera to approximately 40,000 school children each year across the state of Texas, including those in low-income and low-performing schools. Fort Worth Opera also offers “Student Night at the Opera,” final dress rehearsals open to middle and high school students, and student rush discounts as part of its educational outreach.
