On May 1st, students at Westside were privileged to witness a performance from the Utah Opera Company. The program called "Who Wants to be an Opera Star?" is an introduction to opera:the art form that combines drama, visual art,dance, orchestral music, and singing.Operas use words, action and musicto tell stories full of conflict and emotion,and they are usually entirely sung.
“Who Wants to be an OPERA STAR?” uses the framework of a television game show. The assembly runs as a series of questions and challenges,with four singers in the roles of MC and contestants.Studio audience members (the students) will learnabout voice types, arias, duets, trios, and quartets.They will also participate in identifying emotions,singing melodies, and clapping rhythmsfrom the world’s favorite operas.
