Hangképző, the chorus of Kisképző, staged an opera in 2016 for the first time, and fell in love with the genre instantaneously. Opera is an interdisciplinary student effort that fully reveals the strengths of their high school education. Students create the entire performance - they do the singing, the dancing, the visual design and they are ones who play the instruments, as well. They make the costumes themselves, as well as the set, the posters, the ensemble's logo and its web site.

The performances are very popular among high school students. The creators' belief that teens do enjoy opera in this form has been proven many times. All Barefoot Opera productions can be performed in a classroom, ideally to an audience of between 30 and 60.

The performances have been presented not only in schools, but also in theatrical spaces (Kettőspont Színház, RS9 Színház, Három Holló) and festivals (Ördögkatlan, Művészetek Völgye). On each occasion there have been a resounding success, indicating that the plays hold their ground artistically, they are of high quality and enjoyable for the general public.
