Bringing Opera into the classroom!

If you want to introduce opera to your class, this is the project for you!

‘Opera Glasses’ offers schools the opportunity to explore an opera with a team of Welsh National Opera practitioners through a series of workshops in the classroom, followed by a visit to a WNO dress rehearsal. Each opera is accompanied by a teachers’ resource pack.
Suitable for KS2 & KS3.
In 2011/2012 the operas explored are:

La traviata
