We love our traditions here at D-E, and the 5th Grade Opera is one of our longest and most notable! Our 5th Grade classes together presented their Original Operas to the Lower School and their families in Hajjar Auditorium earlier this spring. The full production consisted of three different performances from each of our 5th grade classes. The “World in One”, “Puff Productions”, and “The Chickens” Opera Companies each showcased one-of-a-kind stories centered around themes like bravery and determination. All the productions were developed over the past few months and were entirely student-driven with minimal faculty involvement; students took on key roles including actors, stage crew members, musicians, set designers, and light technicians. Bravo to our 5th grade showrunners!
