Info below--a really great opportunity that was emailed to me. Figured I'd share here.
Dear ECYS students (active and former), families, and mentors,
This weekend you have a unique chance to see opera Carmen at the Kroc Theater (6611 University Ave, SD) in a great format - with an English-speaking story-teller that is perfectly suitable for young audiences and newcomers.
The tickets for kids under 14 y/o are free, $20 for students 14-25 years old with valid school ID, and ECYS families and friends can get 50% discount using Promo Code: Carmen2022.
This is a very rare case when a production company completely removes language barrier but still performs original music in a traditional opera setting.
Your kids will miss an amazing experience if you don't come. Please, make an effort to bring them. They will have a clear understanding of and love for opera for the rest of their life. I promise! First opera experience is extremely important, and this is the best opera and the best format for that.
Reply only to me if you have any questions or are looking for further discounts. I am the Artistic Director of the PLA Opera and can help you with tickets.
Feel free to pass this info (Including the discount code Carmen2022) to your friends and family members. It's all good.
Also, we can use volunteers on Fri (2), Sat (2) and Sun (2) to usher. You'll have to be there 1 hour before the show, but you'll get complimentary tickets. Let me know if you are available.
Kind Regards,
