Performance Reservation
Dear Educator,
Opera Louisiane is very pleased to invite your fourth, fifth and sixth grade students to our Young People’s Opera series free of charge! Our productions include:
The Magic Flute by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Hansel and Gretel by Englebert Humperdinck
The Barber of Seville by Gioacchino Rossini
These three operas will be performed on a rotating basis beginning with The Magic Flute in 2008, Hansel and Gretel in 2009 and The Barber of Seville in 2010 and then a return of The Magic Flute in 2011. The Young People’s Opera Series is made possible by Mayor Kip Holden and the City of East Baton Rouge, The Arts Council of Baton Rouge and the Louisiana Division of the Arts.
While this may be a completely new experience for your students, it is one which is guaranteed to be exciting and memorable! All performances are sung in English and are accompanied by English supertitles. The unique sets, fantastic costumes, and the entire production are geared towards students. Each performance lasts approximately 90 minutes.
Performances are free of charge to students, teachers, and chaperones. All you need to do is arrange for transportation to and from the theater. Space is limited, so teachers are encouraged to return their registration forms early! Seating will be assigned in the order registration forms are received by the Opéra Louisiane office.
Our website will have many items of interest to teachers including lesson plans, messages to the students from the cast members, excerpts from the opera and more. These are provided to help prepare students to enjoy the maximum benefit of this experience.
Thank you for helping to provide our school children with the opportunity to discover and experience a live opera performance. We at Opéra Louisiane are looking forward to seeing you at our next performance!
Very truly yours,
Rochelle Ott, Chairman
Opéra Louisiane Education Committee
