Oct. 16 will be here before you know it. In the meantime, we're gearing up to learn all about the story, opera as an art form, and terms and etiquette concerning attending an opera. Wow, I teach some amazing kids!
Here's some clips that you might want to listen to from the San Francisco opera. Remember, Marie is the tomboy girl that was raised by the band of soldiers. Her aunt attempts to refine her so that she can be a proper lady for marriage. Her aunt wants her to marry royalty - the Duke. But Marie wants to marry Tonio, the young man who saved her and loved her before she was educated.
Listen for the high C's that the tenor (Tonio) sings. Wow, now that's HIGH!
