Who Wants to be an Opera Star?

In the 2007-08 school year, Utah Opera presents the assembly “Who Wants to be an OPERA STAR?,” an introduction to the art form of opera through the framework of a television game show. The assembly runs as a series of questions and competitions, with four singers in the roles of MC and contestants.
Studio audience members (the students) will learn about voice types, arias, duets, and fancy coloratura singing.
They will also participate in identifying emotions and clapping rhythms in musical selections taken from some of the world’s favorite operas.

Because of financial support from the Utah State Legislature and private donors, Utah Opera is able to provide this program to public schools free of charge.
