Phebe went on to study opera at Indiana University and then was hired by the Hamburg Opera in Germany. In Central City, Phebe learned how to listen and appreciate opera as an art form. She and the other kids-children of CCO staff, singers, orchestra performers, etc.-would then put on their own productions of the operas.
