Depending on your students' level of comfort in the spotlight, they will be able to elect whether they would like to be part of the production as a chorus member, a stage manager, or as a member of the marketing team. The relationship between Opera Columbus staff and your school's students will help create an unforgettable experience that culminates in a live performance.
This year's offering is John Davies' Three Billy Goats Gruff.
An after school game of hide and seek is ruined for three billy goat friends when a big bully blocks a bridge, preventing them from being able to go home. Remembering what their moms, dads, and teachers have told them about dealing with bullies, two boy billy goats resolve to go home a different, longer way and share their difficulties with grownups. The littlest girl goat, however, not wanting to abandon the beloved doll that’s been snatched from her, tromps to the crest of the bridge and, confronting the bully, prevails by inadvertently pushing him into the creek below. Concerned for his well-being, she shows her would-be adversary kindness by asking if he’s OK. He responds by asking if she’s OK. By the time the two boys return with help, she’s able to introduce a soggy, forlorn, ex-bully as their new friend, proving “Kindness is Contagious.”
