Grade 5 - Opera Unit

Our Fifth Grade students get to learn about Opera!  Last year, I found an AMAZING opera video of Hansel and Gretel from The Metropolitan Opera.  It is even in English!!!  My students (and myself) were mesmerized!  It is a little dark at times, but has wonderful videography, costumes, and set.

The video can be purchased from Met Opera's store - just $21!!!

Here is an excerpt on viewpure.com. There is no singing, but it will let viewers see the amazing costumes!

Sometimes we have time to fully immerse ourselves in the many jobs that must be done to create an opera.  Students have completed these artifacts to show the knowledge they gained about opera:

• Create a Brochure showing what you learned about Opera
• Create/Design Costume
• Create/Design Set
• Create/Design Music
