Members of the District 99 Orchestra enjoyed the opportunity to experience opera at its finest today. Thanks are extended to the Lyric Opera for scheduling the special matinee performance for schools. The educational materials provided to students were rich with information, and the entire experience this afternoon was geared toward helping students understand the entire production process. So much so that the curtain was left open between the second intermission and Act III so that students could watch the set-changes taking place in the theatre.
Thank you, Ms. Mullen, for planning and organizing what was - for many students - their first trip to a professional opera.
