two classroom teachers and the music teacher from our school attended the
special training offered by the New York Metropolian Opera Guild's Creating
Original Opera Program to learn the process needed for them to supervise
the children in their classes so they could put on their own operetta.
An operetta is both singing and speaking. Doing the operetta would be easier
since it wouldn't take as much music. The difference between an operetta
and a musical it that in an opretta the songs are a vital part of the show.
The difference between an operetta and an opera is that an opera is entirely
singing, an operetta is not. What knowledge the brought back with them!
The kids operettas were amazing! It was like a real professional opretta-
by kids! This years operetta, Gotcha was awesome! The actors remembered
their lines, the costumes were great, the lighting was perfect and the
set changes went smoothly. The Best of the Best Kids Opera Co. is really
a professional company. |
