This year, San Diego Unified continues its partnership with the New York City's Metropolitan Opera HD Live in Schools. This amazing educational experience presents live Met opera productions in high definition video in theaters around the country. Our students will be attending shows at the Edwards Cinemas in Mira Mesa. In addition to funding the telecasts of the live shows, The Met also trains teachers; Dawn Andrews, a San Diego Unified choral resource teacher, participated in the program and has taught her San Diego colleagues what they need to know to make their students' experience special. This year’s shows are: "Don Pasquale" on Nov. 13; "Fanciulla of the West," Jan. 8; "Comte Ory," April 9; and "Il Trovatore," April 30. Tickets are available for 50 students at each performance. This opportunity from The Metropolitan Opera introduces students to the magic of opera and prepares them to attend live operas in San Diego produced by the San Diego Opera.
For more information, please contact Dawn Andrews at (858) 539-5352.
