Dear List;
Below is a list of Operas that include children. A few months ago many of
you were excellent resources and I have been remiss in sending out the
compilation. Thank you so much for your time! This spring I hope to extend my
normal 'mini-opera unit' to include 5 scenes from the following operas: Hansel &
Gretel, Carmen, Magic Flute, Street Scene and possbily one more. I will let
you know how it goes!
