The Addison Center for the Arts is proud to announce that Lyric Opera in the Neighborhoods is coming to Addison for the sixteenth year. This year will feature “Cinderella” composed by Gioachino Rossini and performed for Addison students in grades four through six. The opera is performed in English making it easier for the students to understand. Prior to the event, every student received a study guide (Backstage pass!) from the Lyric preparing them what to expect from the opera including information about the composer, storyline, how to write a libretto and more. Teachers also received study guides from the Lyric Opera of Chicago which were used to enhance student learning before the performance.
The event will take place at Addison Trail high School in the auditorium on Wednesday, October 12 with two performances: one at 10 am and one at noon.
This program is made possible by the donations from the Addison Center for the Arts, Addison School District #4, Addison Trail high School and by generous and deeply appreciated gifts from Mrs. Herbert A. Vance & Mr. and Mrs. William C. Vance.
