Previous Narrative Storytelling Workshops
Resident artists toured middle schools presenting an adapted version of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, utilizing the original text in addition to pop music, scenes from the operas Roméo et Juliette and I Capuleti e i Montecchi, and songs from West Side Story and Something Rotten. Students interacted with the show through the analysis of plot structure and characterization.
Lyric Opera Learning staff and Resident Artists toured to middle schools, teaching the history of opera through the mythological story of Orpheus and Eurydice. The workshop used live performance and audience interaction to teach storytelling skills, musicianship, and various genres of opera and musical theater.
