Lesson Plan
An Immersive Operatic Master Class gone Awry with Big Laughs!
Lesson Plan is live and interactive digital production based on Georg Phillip Telemann’s Der Schulmeister with additional music and new English libretto by Rachel J. Peters. Tailored for the operatically curious with audiences taking an active part in the performance, opera greats Stephanie Blythe and Laquita Mitchell and an off-camera furry friend lead a less-than enthusiastic class of students through an opera workshop in the throes of remote learning. While scales and arias were part of the curriculum, with a little humor and a lot of heart, they leave with a much more valuable lesson in humility, humanity, and truly finding their voice.
Audience Role
Lesson Plan will be performed live over zoom and feature select interactive moments with the audience.

About On Site Opera
Founded in 2012, On Site Opera is the leading presenter of site-specific operas in non- traditional venues throughout New York City. Rooted in collaboration and storytelling, On Site Opera celebrates the connection between artist and audience through highly-curated experiences led by seasoned opera artists and bold and innovative creative teams. To date, OSO has produced 18 operas in as many unique locations to critical acclaim, including Shostakovich’s The Tale of The Silly Baby Mouse using large-scale puppets in performances for families at the Bronx Zoo; Gershwin’s Blue Monday in the historic Cotton Club of Harlem; and Rameau’s Pygmalion in Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum, which explored new technology in opera through the use of Google Glass supertitles. Each production invites New Yorkers to explore their city in new and unique ways, while cultivating a new generation of opera audiences.
