About 50 kids, ages 10-18, have been attending Vail Opera Camp since Aug. 1, learning musical training, stage direction and acting from artists who work in top opera houses around the world. Thursday, they showcase their skills with “The Tinker of Tivoli” at Nottingham Park in Avon.

Vail Opera Camp began in 2021 as part of the Grammy-award-winning National Children’s Chorus, which trains more than a thousand students, ages 5-17, throughout 30 choirs based in chapter cities of Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Austin, Dallas, Boston and Chicago. All choir members practice the same repertoire and breath marks, so they can participate in any of the concerts nationwide, which have included performing on the 2022 Grammy-winning album “Mahler: Symphony No. 8,” a sold-out debut at Carnegie Hall and a concert tour in the United Kingdom.

Person Place Thing: Episode 454: Luke McEndarfer

Early in his career, the conductor of the National Children’s Chorus interviewed for a job with Sister Stella Maria Enright. “She said, ‘Where did you park?’ And I said, ‘Right in front.’ And she said, ‘There is never parking in front. That is a sign from the holy spirit.’” She was kidding. Kind of. He got the job.
