Join Lead Teaching Artist Sarah Laughland, for this in-person session of Opera Starts with Oh! We’ll explore the famous Italian composer and artist Giovanni Pergolesi and his musical works, especially his popular comedy La Servante maîtresse and his beloved Stabat Mater.

In a fun, age-appropriate way, we’ll dive into the music of La Servante maîtresse and Stabat Mater together with Violinist and Music Educator Dr. Christopher Ciampoli, and learn more about what it’s like to be a musician.

Actor and Theater Educator Kathryn Zoerb will take us on a journey into the world of Commedia dell’Arte, learning all about acting in Italy during Pergolesi’s time. We’ll even create our own characters!

At the end of the session, each child will have also created and be able to take home their very own costume piece, so they can continue the fun at home! We can’t wait to see you there!
