Opera Boxes
Opera Boxes are a fantastic way to include opera in your classroom. Each box contains a comprehensive collection of materials based around a specific work.
In each Opera Box you will find:
- Teacher's Guide that includes numerous lesson plans aligned with state and national standards. Activities include creating a cultural timeline, acting out scenes from the opera learning how to write critically about a musical performance and more.
- Full and Vocal Scores
- Multiple DVDs and CDs with a Reference and Tracking Guide coordinating all the tracks to related pages in the vocal and full scores and in the lesson plans.
- Reference Books about the composer, the work and opera in general.
