4th Grade Opera for the Young

2/28/2026 2:35 pm

Prospect 4th grade students are in the midst of learning about opera! They discovered what characterizes the opera genre, the voice parts typically used in opera, and they will explore how other art forms collaborate to create a production with sets, costumes, dance, lighting, props, scripts and acoustics.

To authentically culminate their exploration of opera, students have the opportunity to perform short cameo roles alongside professional opera singers in a performance assembly of Donizetti’s famous opera “The Elixir of Love.” Please note that the majority of the opera will be performed by the visiting opera singers. Prospect students have 4 short song snippets - about 6 minutes - they will perform. Adapted specifically for young students, this opera will be in English, have some spoken dialogue, and is only about 45 minutes long, with a question and answer session at the end.

Please ask your student to tell you about their storytelling through music!
