Calgary Opera Meets Hawkwood School

Today we launched our Calgary Opera Residency for the 2019-2020 school year! 
Save The Date: Performances on May 27/28th @ Hawkwood School.  
Hawkwood School was selected for an exciting opportunity to work with Calgary Opera! 

K-6 will work alongside a librettist to write/create an original story.  Each class will then work with a composer to create our music. Finally,  we will then work alongside a director to help us make the opera spectacular. Volunteers will be needed!  If you have a skill/ interest you would like to share with us we will need help with costumes (sewing), set building (carpentry), prop making, choreography, setup and strike crew (muscles lol), make up, hospitality, merchandise, advertising, front of house, research, business manager or treasurer.
A special invitation for Hawkwood Families:
Calgary Opera has extended a discounted ticket price for our families.  Simply call the box office and then know you are with Hawkwood School Let's Create an Opera.
