Each episode features children from around the world participating (in their own language) in a musical, historical, cultural, and linguistic educational adventure... with their parents' permission, of course.<br /><br />Opera, classical music, and linguistic studies are often neglected and/or not introduced to children at all, especially at the elementary school level. It has been scientifically proven that exposure to classical music, art, dance, culture, foreign languages, and even global travel at an early age encourages healthy brain stimulation and growth, a more peaceful upbringing, a stronger sense of community, and therefore, a better world. <br /><br />The Operina mission is to provide a fun, free, kid-friendly all-encompassing learning experience to enhance their musical and cultural education, expand their horizons, encourage them to think outside the box of their daily lives... all the while limiting their screen time. ;)<br /><br />Operina encourages kids to learn, grow, explore, and experience opera and classical music firsthand. The episodes, narrated by various musical guests worldwide, can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. <br /><br />Operina also encourages your children to make new friends, share information and opinions, learn new words in foreign languages, use their imagination and creativity, create a community, listen to the sounds of the human voice and orchestral instruments, design costumes and sets, dance, sing, and explore the stage, acting, and all the spectacle of opera from the inside.<br /><br />Operina features guests from all corners of the globe, stories extracted from operas that have survived hundreds of years, quizzes, foreign words integrated in the language of the opera being presented, and so much more. Join us on this new adventure!<br /><br />In this episode CARMEN PART TWO, I read the second half of the Metropolitan Opera Guild's 1938 edition of Georges Bizet's French opera <i>Carmen</i>, one of the world's most beloved and well-known operas. This version adapted by Robert Lawrence is taken from a volume of children's books for opera lovers.

It has been scientifically proven that exposure to classical music, art, dance, culture, foreign languages, and even global travel at an early age encourages healthy brain stimulation and growth, a more peaceful upbringing, a stronger sense of community, and therefore, a better world. <br /><br />The Operina mission is to provide a fun, free, kid-friendly all-encompassing learning experience to enhance their musical and cultural education, expand their horizons, encourage them to think outside the box of their daily lives... all the while limiting their screen time. ;)<br /><br />Operina encourages kids to learn, grow, explore, and experience opera and classical music firsthand. The episodes, narrated by various musical guests worldwide, can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. <br /><br />Operina also encourages your children to make new friends, share information and opinions, learn new words in foreign languages, use their imagination and creativity, create a community, listen to the sounds of the human voice and orchestral instruments, design costumes and sets, dance, sing, and explore the stage, acting, and all the spectacle of opera from the inside.<br /><br />Operina features guests from all corners of the globe, stories extracted from operas that have survived hundreds of years, quizzes, foreign words integrated in the language of the opera being presented, and so much more. Join us on this new adventure!<br /><br />In this episode, instead of discussing an opera, I will read Julie Andrews' and Emma Walton Hamilton's <i>The First Notes: The Story of DO, RE, MI</i>. Please listen to <a href="https://www.julieslibraryshow.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Julie's Library</a> for more educational children's books written by Ms. Andrews and her daughter. You won't regret it! The episode also includes musical selections from the film <i>The Sound of Music</i> in which Ms. Andrews stars. Enjoy!!<br /><br />If your child would like to be featured as a guest on future episodes, please send your submissions (in any language) to: <a href="https://gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">operinapodcast@gmail.com</a>.<br /><br />DISCLAIMER: Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

The episodes, narrated by various musical guests worldwide, can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. <br /><br />Operina also encourages your children to make new friends, share information and opinions, learn new words in foreign languages, use their imagination and creativity, create a community, listen to the sounds of the human voice and orchestral instruments, design costumes and sets, dance, sing, and explore the stage, acting, and all the spectacle of opera from the inside.<br /><br />Operina features guests from all corners of the globe, stories extracted from operas that have survived hundreds of years, quizzes, foreign words integrated in the language of the opera being presented, and so much more. Join us on this new adventure!<br /><br />In this pilot episode, we learn about Giacomo Puccini's La Bohème. On Christmas Eve 1830 in Paris, France we meet Rodolfo, Marcello, Mimì, and Musetta, and many of their friends. These energetic and sassy characters come to life in this magical story about love, loss, poverty, and friendship. <br /><br />Be sure to stay tuned for the quiz at the end, and if you'd like to be featured as a guest on future episodes, please send your submissions (in any language) to: operinapodcast@gmail.com.<br /><br />DISCLAIMER: Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

It has been scientifically proven that exposure to classical music, art, dance, culture, foreign languages, and even global travel at an early age encourages healthy brain stimulation and growth, a more peaceful upbringing, a stronger sense of community, and therefore, a better world. <br /><br />The Operina mission is to provide a fun, free, kid-friendly all-encompassing learning experience to enhance their musical and cultural education, expand their horizons, encourage them to think outside the box of their daily lives... all the while limiting their screen time. 😉<br /><br />Operina encourages kids to learn, grow, explore, and experience opera and classical music firsthand. The episodes, narrated by various musical guests worldwide, can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. <br /><br />Operina also encourages your children to make new friends, share information and opinions, learn new words in foreign languages, use their imagination and creativity, create a community, listen to the sounds of the human voice and orchestral instruments, design costumes and sets, dance, sing, and explore the stage, acting, and all the spectacle of opera from the inside.<br /><br />Operina features guests from all corners of the globe, stories extracted from operas that have survived hundreds of years, quizzes, foreign words integrated in the language of the opera being presented, and so much more.
