With the current state of the world, harmony almost seems a dream. Harmony with each other, harmony with the world.

Just with the Australian context, our thoughts go out to teachers battling with school communities in doubt and to all the wonderful presenters whose events have been cancelled. This day/week was booked out ages ago for most incursion presenters. We don't know of any whose shows went ahead this week. No work, no income for most of us in the arts industry.

Teachers, please rebook your events for later in the year to give our incredible arts workers some hope.

Victorian Opera has a performance designed for primary school students. This year, the productions is Massenet’s Cinderella. It can be accessed by all schools across Victoria, regardless of location.

If your school is within 150km of Arts Centre Melbourne, come and see the show live!

If your school is further than 150km from Arts Centre Melbourne, you can see the production live streamed to your school. How's that?

All schools who book the show, either the live performance or the streamed option, can also access a series of workshops that are streamed to your school.

In each workshop, students meet different members of the cast, creative team and orchestra and become familiar with the art form as they learn about the rehearsal and production processes involved in opera. A live performance of Cinderella, which can be watched at the theatre or via livestream (depending on the location of your school), concludes the program. 

All workshops are FREE with school group bookings to a performance of Cinderella, or if your school is eligible for the live stream option.

Suits students from Foundation to Yr 6.
