Music! Words! Opera

This is the first volume of a series that brings opera to life as an art form that can be understood and enjoyed by everyone. �The series will challenge students to think about communication and storytelling as something that can reach beyond speaking and writing. �Because opera is a multi-art form, it invites students to explore several of the basic ways humans communicate through words, music, dance, drama, and visual arts. Included in the kit are complete lesson plans, an opera outline, activities, handouts, study questions, assessment tools, a glossary, and a DVD of a classic performance conducted by the renowned Sir Georg Solti.
