As part of its unique annual Hands-on-Opera education and youth performance program, Opera Parallele (OP) will present the world premiere of Amazing Grace, by OP composer-in-residence Christopher Pratorius. Based on the children’s book of the same name by Mary Hoffman and with a libretto by Opera Parallele’s Brian Staufenbiel and Roma Olvera, three free performances will be presented November 12 & 14 at the African American Art & Culture Complex in San Francisco.

The fully staged and costumed production will be developed during an innovative eight-week residency with fourth and fifth grade students at Saint Martin de Porres Catholic School in Oakland, assisted by the Opera Parallele creative team and professional singers.
