Recommended Age for Opera. TDO recommends children under the age of 6 do not attend main stage opera performances. Most operas are over 2-1/2 hours, and it is quite frequent that the 1st act of an opera can be over 1 hour. It is a long time to sit quietly.
Do you remember that time you were playing an educational song in class, and one student was especially engaged with the song, nodding his head along with the music? So the song ends, and you ask that student, “What did you learn from that song?” and the student simply replies, “I didn’t learn anything. I just liked the beat.” These are the types of moments that scream, “THE CLASSROOM NEEDS RAP OPERA FOR KIDS!”
Haven’t educational rap songs already been done? There are TONS of educational rap songs out there, but none of them fully integrate song lyrics into reading activities. With Rap Opera for Kids, when the music stops, the learning doesn’t. Our songs incorporate history and pop culture topics that kids love into reading and math activities using our unique, rap opera style.
