Led by a professional opera singer and NJOT Director of Education, students will explore the plot, setting, and characters of Mozart's The Magic Flute and Gilbert & Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance through theater games and improvisation. Students will also learn about the different jobs of producing an opera including stage management, costume design, lighting, and set construction. In addition, the children will also work together with the facilitators to create their own original mini-operas which will be performed for the parents on the final day. There will be a backstage tour and dress rehearsals with full orchestra of both productions.
