🎭The Arts at SNCS
On March 11, students from the SNCS Choir attended a performance of Madama Butterfly at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Experiencing a world-class opera gave our students a unique opportunity to see how music, drama, and stage artistry come together to create a powerful artistic experience. As part of this visit, students also had the chance to learn about the orchestra pit and meet members of the Chicago Lyric Opera Orchestra — gaining a deeper understanding of how musicians, conductors, and performers work together behind the scenes to bring a production to life.
The following day, on March 12, our 5th grade students took the stage themselves, performing “The Mitten” as part of the Elementary Opera Residency Program. Through this collaboration, SNCS teachers worked alongside a Lyric Opera teaching artist and developed a customized residency plan that enabled students to engage in creative storytelling through the art of opera.
SNCS is grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Lyric Opera of Chicago Elementary Residency Program, which expanded students’ knowledge of music, theater, and visual expression, developing creativity, imagination, and a deeper appreciation for opera, culture, and storytelling.
