Sarah Lewis Martin Education & Community Engagement Manager FROM THE GENERAL DIRECTOR William Florescu… While many people in the Milwaukee area enjoy the Florentine Opera’s mainstage offerings, our education and community engagement programs are an additional, essential element of the work done at the Company. Florentine Opera General Director William Florescu strongly believes in the power of opera to teach and inspire students, noting: “We are dedicated to enriching the lives of children through the performing arts, and providing them the opportunity for self-expression that will ultimately help to develop valuable and effective communication and leadership skills. This commitment provides a strong foundation for the reason for our being—bringing this all- encompassing art form to our community—in the past, in the present, and into the future.” i Note to Teachers Table of Contents 1 Florentine Opera Company Education Mission 2 About this Study Guide 3 New to Opera? 4 What Is Opera? 5 Who Makes It All Happen? 12 Operatic Voices 16 Operatic Singing 21 Glossary of Opera Terms 27 The Conductor’s Score 31 The Vocal Score 33 The Story of Goldie B.

Educating students and the community about opera and career opportunities within the opera. 2. Providing opera introduction and continuing education events for adults. 3. Providing opportunities for young artists. The Florentine Opera Education Department’s strategic plan includes four goals: 1. Establishing new partnerships 2. Supplementing arts education at every level 3. Improving the quality and quantity of teaching artists 4. Involving new audiences by exploring new, non-traditional venues “The music makes me feel happy, and it made me go to my home and sing to my grandma.” – student at Greenfield Bilingual School “I learned that it takes a lot of work to be in the opera.” – student at Lancaster Elementary “With my lifestyle and the way I was brought up, I would have never been naturally introduced to the opera. I can replace movies with the opera, I can relax at the opera, I can get away from the world at the opera.” – student at West Bend High School “I love the performance for ‘The Three Little Pigs’ opera performance. It was a good show for the children in the school.” – student at 53rd Street School “They made me laugh through the whole show. I think they should come again so we can see another show. All the kids were enjoying it.” – student at Honey Creek School “I really liked the play. My stomach started to hurt because the play was so funny. I thought that the singing was awesome and that the whole performance was wonderful!” – student at Honey Creek School 2 We acknowledge the Nashville Opera’s Education Department for sharing portions of their study guide with the Florentine Opera. For more information about the Nashville Opera and their education programs, visit http://www.nashvilleopera.org/Education_%26_Outreach.html. Each section of this guide was created to supplement your school’s curriculum, as well as to provide opera newcomers with more insight into the world of opera. Many sections (such as What is Opera?) are geared specifically towards teachers. You are welcome to take this information and reframe it in whatever way best suits your class. With the information and activities provided in this guide, we hope to help you create a more meaningful experience for your students. Our objectives with this study guide and performance are… ! To introduce students to the fundamental components of opera. ! To give students a very brief historical perspective of opera’s development. ! To introduce some basic terminology. ! To encourage multidisciplinary studies across many subject areas. ! To educate as well as entertain. We achieve these objectives by… ! Presenting opera as fun, entertaining, and culturally significant. ! Providing you with background information on this year’s production as well as some basics about opera and its history. ! Connecting opera to your music and general classroom curriculum with suggested pre- and post-opera activities. Why opera education? ! Our in-school programs present material through visual, aural, and action methods, thus reaching out to many different types of learners. ! Exposure to opera as a multidisciplinary art helps students develop intelligence in a variety of areas, including abstract thinking and problem solving. ! Opera provides opportunities for self-expression through a variety of forms, which in turn leads to the development of valuable communication skills, self- discipline, perseverance, and leadership. ! Opera combines drama, poetry, instrumental music, singing, scenery, costumes, lighting, and many wonderful special effects. Such collaboration is important for students to witness, as it helps to encourage them to develop a broadened, multidisciplinary perspective. 3 Why Being an Opera Novice Helps You Enjoy Opera We firmly believe that newcomers have a great advantage over many opera fanatics worldwide. The composers of the great operas knew what they were doing – they created potent musical dramas aimed straight for the heart. Many opera buffs forget that in opera, the intellect should take a backseat to emotion. More than many other art forms, opera is meant to appeal directly to the senses. All you need are eyes, ears, and a soul to fully appreciate opera. Let us help you activate your senses. The Popular-versus-Classical Myth Until very recently (at least in geological terms), going to an opera was like going to a movie. People went to an opera as you might go to a rock concert: to have fun! They went to see their favorite stars and hear their favorite tunes.

He recorded two versions of Bach’s great composition—once in 1955 and again in 1981. It is a testament to Gould’s genius that he could record the same piece of music twice—so differently, yet each version brilliant in its own way. Glenn Gould— A State Of Wonder brings together both of Gould’s legendary performances of The Goldberg Variations for the first time in a deluxe, digitally remastered, 3-CD set. Sony Classical celebrates the 70th anniversary of Glenn Gould's birth with a collection of limited edition CDs. This beautifully packaged collection contains the cornerstones of Gould’s career that marked him as a genius of our time. A supreme intrepreter of Bach, these recordings are an essential addition to every music collection.

  • Northern Ireland Tour March 21 – 26
    WILLIAM WALTON An extravaganza in One Act based on the play by Anton Chekhov Northern Ireland Tour March 21 – 26 “There’s a real buzz and sense of purpose about what this company is doing” ~ The Guardian Welcome Welcome to this evening’s performance of The Bear. Tonight’s programme showcases not only a rarely performed jewel of an opera, but also brings to Northern Ireland three wonderful singers who are making a real name for themselves on the world stage. Anna Burford and Andrew Rupp are performing with NI Opera for the first time following recent engagements at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, and English National Opera. Those of you who saw our production of Tosca back in 2011 will remember John Molloy who sang the roles of Angelotti and Sciarrone then, and sings the role of Luka tonight. We are also delighted that some of Northern Ireland’s finest choirs are appearing in the first part of tonight’s programme, singing a selection of George Shearing’s beautiful Songs and Sonnets from Shakespeare. The combination of Northern Irish talent, internationally-renowned singers and innovative programming has been highly evident throughout our 2012/13 season, which draws to a close with this tour. From commissioning exciting new short operas from leading Irish composers and playwrights, to performing a children’s opera in Belfast Zoo and at the Beijing Music Festival, to bringing a home grown production of a Wagner opera to the Belfast stage for the first time ever, this has certainly been a year to remember. 2012/13 has also seen NI Opera make its debuts at the prestigious Buxton Festival and in the Irish Republic, whilst our programmes for nurturing the best young Irish talent – particularly our Young Artists’ Programme and our annual Festival of Voice in Glenarm – continue to prosper.
