Meridian School proudly proud-ly announces the upcoming upcom-ing performance of an original orig-inal children's opera, "The Gel-lution", written by the students in Classes 4 and 5. Terri McGuire's and Keri Ward's students will perform their opera in Utah Valley State College's Center Stage Theater on Friday, April 11, 2003, at 7:00 pm, just prior to the Meridian Upper School's performance perform-ance of "Superman." The dress rehearsal is Thursday, April 10, 1:00 pm at Meridian School, 931 E 300 N in Provo. Any interested party is invited to attend either of these performances. In September, the fourth and fifth grade students stu-dents began the process of brainstorming, writing, staging, and composing. With the help of Mrs. McGuire, Mrs. Wahl, and Mrs. Fillmore (the Meridian dance teacher), as well as the Utah Festival Opera specialists, students have created a completely original, humorous tale of misadventure misad-venture and consequences. Three rules were paramount para-mount in the process: 1) Make sure no one gets hurt. 2) Everyone participates partici-pates 3) The opera is the students' work. Teachers only get to make suggestions! sugges-tions! The benefits of Utah Festival Opera's Opera for Children by Children educational program far outweigh the opera that is produced; the teamwork, collaboration, and problem-solving skills are equally valuable. In Utah Festival Opera's Opera for Children by Children educational program, music, drama, and visual art specialists work one-on-one with students to assist them as they create their own stories, write their own librettos, compose com-pose their own music, and produce their own sets and costumes. Education Director Susan Ames feels Utah Festival Opera "is far more interested in building build-ing confident children than in producing professional profes-sional artists and composers com-posers through this process. When children have their original thoughts and ideas validated vali-dated during the creation of their operas, they learn to trust themselves and each other. They become more capable of actively participating and learning in the core academic areas, and that is what we are striving to accomplish." Utah Festival Opera and its thirty specialists have assisted in creating over 120 original operas in the state of Utah this year. The Opera for Children by Children program is available to school teachers teach-ers throughout the state. For more information contact con-tact Susan Ames at (435) 750-0300, ext. 118. ' |
