Southland Opera: We believe in the value of arts enhanced learning and have a strong commitment to high quality programming. Southland Opera has been providing workshops and assemblies since 1997. To date we have had over 7,000 performances and workshops for nearly one and a half million students. Our standards based programs continue to be in high demand and have become an integral part of helping to keep the arts alive in Southern California.
Description of Program: Adventures in Song and Story uses familiar fairy tales and stories as a way to introduce children to operas, musicals and operetta. This two-person show is fully costumed, fast-paced, engaging and interactive. It introduces students to these very popular vocal music art forms in an educational, approachable, and fun way.
Children will:
- Learn a dance with Hansel and Gretel.
- Meet the Three Little Maids from The Mikado.
- Lament with the dear, sweet, evil stepsisters because Cinderella stole their prince.
