Each performance is uniquely tailored for it’s audience, but below is a sample of what a typical school assembly performance is like:
Introduction
-Q&A: What is opera? When do you hear opera? What kind of singers are there? (discussing answers and having a brief, open dialogue about them)
Group activity
– Group vocal warmups: warming up our voices together and sharing that opera singers aren’t that serious and can be silly too!
Singing
– Singing arias and scenes. Prior to each piece we have a brief dialogue (which may include discussion of composers, the plot, emotions, language and what to listen for in the music)
Coming to an end
– Ending with everyone learning how to bow at the end of a performance.

“Thank you for the wonderful assembly! All the teachers and students loved it! You are all great presenters! I learned a lot about opera that I didn’t know before. I hope other schools are lucky enough to book Opera-tune-ity for an assembly.” – Staff Teacher at Thomas Page Elementary, June 2016 |
