Featuring opera scenes and songs from the Italian bel canto tradition, A Country Store Opera showcases the talents of 14 Vermont teen singers from 10 different schools, including U-32 and Montpelier High School.

The original story, written by YOC founder Sarah Cullins, takes place in the local country store of the fictional town of Venice, Vermont. This production celebrates Vermont traditions, Vermont products, and Vermont talent! Led from the piano by YOC Music Director Mary Jane Austin.
