Lesson Plan

Lesson Plan is live and interactive digital production based on Georg Phillip Telemann’s Der Schulmeister with additional music and new English libretto by Rachel J. Peters. Tailored for the operatically curious with audiences taking an active part in the performance, opera greats Stephanie Blythe and Laquita Mitchell and an off-camera furry friend lead a less-than enthusiastic class of students through an opera workshop in the throes of remote learning. While scales and arias were part of the curriculum, with a little humor and a lot of heart, they leave with a much more valuable lesson in humility, humanity, and truly finding their voice.
