OPERA SOUP PRODUCTIONS are high quality interactive music presentations created to introduce opera essentials to young audiences and families. To that purpose, the shows have been designed to entertain, to inform, to encourage creative thinking skills, and to spark an interest for an on going and more in depth relationship between the learning community, the field of opera, and other areas of the performing arts. In keeping with this aim, the scripts have been meticulously developed so that they might be meaningful to diverse groups of learners on multiple levels. Likewise, the music for these presentations has been carefully selected and prepared with the utmost integrity to engage students in core curriculim standards in Language Arts, Social Studies, and World Language among others. Accordingly, the presentations incorporate national standards in music such as: |
(1) |
"Singing, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music;" |
(3) |
”Improvising melodies, variations and accompaniments;” |
(6) |
