Opera in the 21st Century - all primary schools in Victoria can participate.
Mar 15, 2020
Victorian Opera has a performance designed for primary school students. This year, the productions is Massenet’s Cinderella. It can be accessed by all schools across Victoria, regardless of location.
If your school is within 150km of Arts Centre Melbourne, come and see the show live!
If your school is further than 150km from Arts Centre Melbourne, you can see the production live streamed to your school. How's that?
All schools who book the show, either the live performance or the streamed option, can also access a series of workshops that are streamed to your school.
In each workshop, students meet different members of the cast, creative team and orchestra and become familiar with the art form as they learn about the rehearsal and production processes involved in opera. A live performance of Cinderella, which can be watched at the theatre or via livestream (depending on the location of your school), concludes the program.
All workshops are FREE with school group bookings to a performance of Cinderella, or if your school is eligible for the live stream option.
Suits students from Foundation to Yr 6.
