Snappy Operas: The Magical Music Tree

Описание: THE MAGICAL MUSIC TREE

The hunters are coming and if this tree falls, so do the Fish, Dodo and Unicorn sheltering among its magical musical leaves…

We are the music, come and join us
We are the music, listen to us
We are joined as one in every song
In the music tree, we all belong

A group of mythical creatures - dodos, unicorns and fish - call a tree in the heart of the woods home. A group of hunters want to capture these creatures and decide to blow up The Magical Music Tree. They’re not music lovers, not yet anyway. Eventually the wise unicorns come up with a cunning plan that has everyone singing in harmony.


SNAPPY OPERAS

Snappy Operas is Mahogany Opera's award-winning schools programme, making and performing new mini-operas with primary-aged children.

A Snappy Opera is a ten-minute opera, created for and by children with some of the UK’s top composers & writers, which introduces all the essential elements of opera in fun, colourful and bite-size chunks.

Working with partners including local Music Education Hubs, festivals and venues, we select schools that would most benefit from involvement in the programme – as well as an introduction to opera, children gain music and performance skills, improve confidence and team working, and have the opportunity to express themselves in a new, creative way. We train artists to work in school settings, provide Continuing Professional Development to teachers to develop creative approaches to their teaching, and bring schools and audiences together in venues to create a sense of community through the joy of opera.
