"Animals of the Zodiac...young thespians reach for the stars.."Ross Grant, Greenfield (MA) Recorder
An exciting evening at the opera! Based on an ancient Chinese legend, this operetta --with movement-- tells how the rat became first in the order of the Chinese Zodiac. An excellent multi-grade, all-school production, The Animals of the Zodiac is an hour of continuous music featuring 34 short arias, duets, small ensemble, full-cast songs and 11 dances. The Rehearsal/Performance CD includes the entire synthesized-orchestra arrangement (without vocals), and helps your students learn their individual song and dance parts quickly, comfortably and on their own. The Rehearsal/Performance CD also helps your kids attain precision timing and familiarity with the score, because it is the exact music they will perform to on opening night. The Animals of the Zodiac is an experience you, your children and their parents will never forget; it is challenging, great fun, and just like real opera. Watch your students grow as musicians and actors with this outstanding work. The Animals of the Zodiac is children's musical theater at its best!
