Spring 2010

Florentine Opera Residency: Jack & the Beanstalk (RESERVED)

From the man who brought us The Three Little Pigs, Little Red's Most Unusual Day and Pinocchio...comes this clever new tale to introduce children to opera. Using the beloved melodies of Gilbert & Sullivan, John Davies weaves the tale of the misuse of the magic beans. Florentine Opera artists in residence will work with fifth graders from Wileman and Darien Elementary schools in a pre-performance workshop to prepare them to perform in the chorus of this magical opera that will be performed at their school.
