On another subject: Did anyone else happen to hear yesterday's Morning
Edition, which featured a segment on the new Opera Program at Fiorello
LaGuardia High School (the "Fame" school) in New York City? The school is
staging its first opera - ORFEO ED EURIDICE. The program itself was
started to fill the void that the school had previously, i.e., it had no
programs to accommodate young singers who were not interested in choral,
jazz, or pop performance but who wanted to sing opera. I haven't had a
chance to go to the school's website to learn more, but was simply
delighted with what I heard on NPR - the first high school opera programme
in the country!
