Opera in Residence

(256K) 1218 x 719

Students in all grades worked with guest artist, trained opera singer Mrs. Yvette Lewis, to perform selections from famous operas. This week-long program was sponsored by Travilah's PTA and the Maryland State Arts Council. This is the second year Mrs. Lewis has brought the opera-in-residence program to Travilah. Students learned about the music, stories, languages, composers, costumes, and historical background of each opera.
