Interactive Student Night at the Opera

This is a wonderful opportunity to explore opera! Believe it or not, opera is not all about glass shattering singing by women in viking attire! Check out more at the Opera Carolina web-site.


Student Night at the Opera


La Traviata



Join us for Verdi's timeless masterpiece! One of the most performed operas in the world, this is a story of love, loss, and the ultimate sacrifice.

Student Night is your "Passport" to all that grand opera can be. This year we are offering exciting new features:
Interactive Audience Activities
Restaurant Discounts
Educator/Parent Study Guide

Be sure to download our Opera Passport Study Guide containing information about the opera, the composer, and suggested learning activities. To help your opera experience become a complete evening, your Passport ticket now includes discounts from our restaurant partners.




Student Night Goes Interactive!

Students now have the opportunity to ask questions to our artists and staff in a live Q&A session during Intermission.

Submit your questions online prior to your visit using the Opera Passport Study Guide or participate in the Q&A session at Intermission.

Also new this year, Opera Carolina will present an award to the school/association with the most Student Night ticket purchases, including a visit from one of our mainstage artists. Every organization or school attending Student Night as a group will receive a certificate of participation.

The dress rehearsal for all students with speaking parts, solos, or backstage jobs will be 3:15-4:15 on Monday, February 14 in the Sullivan Middle School Auditorium. Please e-mail me at aodom@rock-hill.k12.sc.us if you are willing to help chaperone this rehearsal.

More info to come regarding dress for the show....

Rehearsals for "The Big Chill" Begin on Wednesday

The cast and crew rehearsals will begin on Wednesday, January 19. The crew will meet on Wed afternoon from 2:10-2:45 to begin work on backstage details. The cast with speaking parts will rehearse on Thursday, January 20 in the morning and afternoon. Students and parents can determine whether to attend the morning (7:10-7:40) or the afternoon (2:10-2:45) for this first rehearsal.
If your child has a speaking part or a backstage crew job, please return the form at the bottom of the rehearsal schedule sent home on Thursday, January 13 as soon as possible.

Cast and Crew announced for "The Big Chill"

Yesterday students who auditioned for the show were notified of their speaking lines and/or backstage jobs. I am already so proud of all of the students who came to audition; it takes so much courage! I thought it was very ironic that we had an actual snow day last Monday when I was to announce the cast and crew for "The Big Chill (Hoping for a Snow Day!)" Hopefully, the weather will cooperate so we can continue our preparations uninterrupted!

A rehearsal schedule (and in some cases scripts) were included in a letter to go home to notify parents about the schedule of practices. Parents are asked to sign the form at the bottom of the letter and return it to me at school. The signature will let me know that the students (and transportation by parents) will commit to attending all rehearsals and the show on February 15.

Last week another paper was sent home to be signed only if a student cannot be present for the show in February. It's important that I know of all absences prior to the show as I plan for movement on stage.

If you can and are willing to help with any aspect of the show, please contact me via e-mail: aodom@rock-hill.k12.sc.us.

Stay warm,
Mrs. Odom
