O-A/BC-IG students in kindergarten through fifth grade will have the chance to see one of Iowa’s premier arts organizations when Des Moines Metro Opera’s educational touring troupe arrives Thursday, March 24, 2 p.m. at the ECC auditorium in Ida Grove.

Opera Iowa will present Fox’s “Sid the Serpent Who Wanted to Sing.” Opera Iowa’s workshops entertain while they educate and make opera more understandable and more accessible to students and families. The operas are performed in English with colorful scenery and costumes, theatrical lighting and musical accompaniment. The troupe will work directly with students in interactive workshops that may include improvisation, musical styles or character development. Opera Iowa is an education division program of Des Moines Metro Opera, located in Indianola.
