In addition to facilitating students attending dress
rehearsals, the Seattle Opera Education Department provides several other
opportunities for students to learn about opera. Nathan Hale is able to take
advantage of two of these as perquisites to bringing so many students to the
dress rehearsals.
- Back
Stage Tour – On Wednesday October 17, twenty-five to thirty lucky
Hale students will get a free backstage tour of the Seattle Opera. This
was a huge success last year and really afforded us with a much better
appreciation for the tremendous amount of teamwork, expertise, precision
and time it takes to produce an opera in McCaw Hall. Students will
depart from Nathan Hale at 9:30 a.m. and return before the start of 5th
period at 1:00 p.m. Participants will need to get a field trip form
signed by their parents and all relevant teachers (1st,
mentorship and 3rd). We will be stopping at Pagliacci for a
pizza lunch before returning to campus. We will need several cars so if there
are a couple of interested parents who would like to drive/chaperone
please contact me.
- School
Visit – A member of the Seattle Opera Education team will visit
Nathan Hale on Thursday December 20 to present background information
about the company’s upcoming production of Pagliacci.
