That was so cute! I loved it when that policeman came in. Just seeing the kids waiting for what would happen and then hearing them burst into laughter as he started singing made it all worth it.

[@deborahchamplin9008]

That was the most AWESOME mini-mob opera EVER!!! When that Policia entered I guessed that he might just be in on the fun, but loved the expressions on the kids faces as they waited with baited breath to hear what he was going to say.

I think I’ll watch this whenever I’m sad or discouraged about the state of the word.

[@danachappell3861]

This needs to be done more often, all over the world. :) Kids need to be exposed to different kinds of music, from all genres. It's a great way to figure out if they will make, sing or just enjoy music. I come from a home where you listened to almost all genres of music. I must say that opera and classical music still have the biggest places in my heart.

¡¡¡Maravillosa experiencia!!! Las caritas de sorpresa, alegria, confusión y felicidad de los niños son indescriptibles. Me detengo en especial la del niño (evidentemente de etnia India), que se acurruca temeroso, cuando el tenor lo individualiza.

I fail to see how a beautiful performance for open minded children can devolve into negativity like some of the comments posted here. Opera is timeless and exposure to it while young can lead to a lifetime of appreciation. British or American, we share common values. there's value in ALL music genre's. The performers were exceptional, I particularly enjoyed the active participation by the POLICE.. LOL

Except for the fact that the Duke in Rigoletto is misogynistic, and his whole character revolves around adult themes. I mean I get that it's part of Opera, but this Aria is done because it's popularized...

Highly creative brilliant idea - this is better than any advertising PR dollar you could possibly spend by springing this impromptu operetta fun 'swarming' on the kids during lunch-hour. I have no doubt this is one which shall come to mind for years to come in the minds of these children! ...who knows...maybe some will strat listening more to classical music or even sing it themselves in the future. . . The policeman showing up was a good one.... - no doubt all the kids felt safe but the surprise was on them when he started to sing as well. . . BRAVO! I just loved it!

The police officer was a nice touch and made the operatic display quite effective, but I agree with other comments, this type of experience needs to be shared by all socioeconomic groups of students.

oh COME ON. Just let it be joyful. Feel free to solve all the world's troubles on a different page.

[@daffyslooney2867]

And while I agree with you on that, part of the solution would be for the parents themselves (of all socioeconomic students) to expose them to culture, especially at an early age. One doesn't have to be rich to listen to these and other wondrous forms of music, performing arts, etc.

Of course some of the kids were holding their ears!! In a small space like the lunch room, that was really loud!! I used to conduct opera professionally, but in this sized room I, too, might have covered my ears. Those singers, especially the big tenor, have serious power.
