Living Opera for CARMEN
March 30 to April 14, 2020
Opera Anna and Super Geoff are back to wrap up Pacific Opera Victoria’s 2019/20 season. They will lead classrooms on a journey through the worlds of music and theatre, which combine to make the art of opera. Students will dive into voices and storytelling as they create their own world of opera characters.
Using Carmen as the source material and Indigenous storytelling traditions as seen in our Youth Opera, The Flight of the Hummingbird, students will engage in interactive theatre games. The music will lead them to create their own version of Carmen as bears, cougars and chickadees. With a real, live opera singer in the room, this presentation is a great way to introduce students to the world of musical storytelling – or for frequent participants in our workshops – to expand their knowledge of the world of Opera.
