Ashley's teacher works about half of the school year on a class opera. A person from the Utah Festival Opera comes into the class. The kids write the story, and gives the Opera person musical ideas. The opera person makes a recording for the kids, and we got a script. The kids learned the opera, and parents help with costumes and sets.
This year Mrs. Larson's first grade class presented "A Ruckus and Riot in the Rainforest". The opera was about some bad guys (some 6th graders) who wanted to come destory the rainforest, and the animals teamed up and convinced the bad guys to not destroy the rainforest. Ashley was a bird-a Macaw. The opera was cute! I was proud of Ashley! She worked hard to learn her part, and performed great infront of the school, and parents. It was worth coming back early to see it!
