::First Stop: New York City Opera::
Opera isn’t all about fat ladies in blonde braids bellowing in German for the entertainment of society folks. The New York City Opera dispels some of the myths about opera in an article called “First time? Don’t Freak Out. Opera Isn’t That Scary.”
And it isn’t. All sorts of people love opera. That includes Maya Angelou, poet laureate of the United States, as you’ll see on your Third Stop of this Virtual Field Trip.
Something to Think About
Think back to a time when you were trying something new and scary. Did you ever dread doing something that later turned out to be interesting and fun?
