Kids' take on the opera

Here are the mini reviews for The Barber of Seville.

"I like the movie because when Figaro was sitting in the chair then he was fall asleep when Rosina was singing a song. I don't like that much because when they talk I don't know what they are say. But I do know what they are say but just little bit. And I will give 3 stars." - Jessica Corral

A Day at the Opera

Our class last Friday watched scenes 1 and 2 of the The Barber of Seville. Despite numerous interruptions, the class very much enjoyed the show. The opera is in Italian, so the kids get to practice their reading skills by reading the subtitles. They're also going to write mini reviews which I'll post here when they're done.
