The project fell within the scope of actions promoted by the MIUR for the implementation of Plans aimed to Improve the Educational System. It was realized in academic year 2016/2017 in network with schools throughout the territory (Comprehensive Institutes, primary schools and music-oriented lower secondary schools). The recipients were fourth-year primary school students attending the Comprehensive Institute Losapio San Filippo Neri in Gioia del Colle.
The aim of the project was to lead students - starting from the primary school - to discover opera, considered an artistic asset capable of drawing youngsters closer to the forms and feelings of classical music. In particular, the educational path aimed to foster this experience through the students’ direct involvement in staging Rossini’s Cinderella at the municipal theatre of Gioia del Colle.
After introducing the students to the opera, their creative interventions were stimulated through the completion and reinvention of the story, the development of the action, the scenery, the costumes and the creation of the ballets.
The activity took place in sound-proof musical laboratories provided with Orff instruments, a piano, an IWB, a sound system. The municipal theater was identified as the ideal place to stage the opera. Bills, colors, sheets and costumes were used to realize the scenery of the theatrical representation. We started from the analysis and listening of the most famous arias of the original libretto of Rossini’s Cinderella, and then the students worked on a creative re-formulation of the text.
The skills, goals and training objectives selected by the teacher for this experience are shown below.
The students learned how to:
- understand their vocal possibilities and potentialities
