Opera to Go! Performs at Kujawa Elementary School

Disponible en:

Opera to Go! from the Houston Grand Opera recently performed Daniel and the Dream Catcher for first and second graders at Kujawa Elementary School. This was a great way for students to experience a high-energy opera. Opera to Go! provided a fully staged, 45-minute performance. The talented singers brought costumes, sets and beautiful music to life. In Daniel and the Dream Catcher, Daniel is afraid of the giant in his closet that likes to shrink things. But when the giant shrinks his family, Daniel has to decide to be brave and confront his fears. This original story is a great way to learn about courage. The live opera helped students explore storytelling through the use of singing and acting. Students also discussed the characters, setting, and plot through guided activities in class before the show. They were highly engaged and interactive throughout the performance. Daniel and the Dream Catcher featured music by Sterling Tinsley and the libretto is by Kate Pogue.
