NewsOpera in the SchoolsOpera à la Carte is an educational program offered through the San Francisco Opera Guild. It is an engaging in-school program consisting of a 45 minute adapted presentation of a main stage opera. Opera à la Carte
reaches over 130 schools a year in the greater Bay Area, with eight to ten performances in the South Bay. It is a mini opera, sung in English and brought to the school by professional costumed singers, a pianist, and a docent. The singers rehearse and coach students who have already been prepared for their speaking roles by teachers in the schools. An assembly presentation to the whole school allows for appreciation of their fellow classmates, the professionals, and the opera. This fall will feature an adaptation of Puccini’s La Boheme. Fall Lecture SeriesThe Fall San Francisco Opera Lecture Series begins on September 2, 2008, with Simon Williams speaking on Simon Boccanegra by Verdi.
