Lyric Music & More: May 19
Looking for things to do at home? Many of us are spending much more time with our little ones lately, and we’d love to help you share your love of music with your family while at home. Head to our new Kids Corner for all kinds of music-related activities like word searches, coloring pages, mad-libs, and more!
Of course, what at-home activity is better than dancing? Kate Baldwin poses the question, “Shall we dance?” in this extended clip from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I. Plus, learn about opera’s one-hit wonders, explore the impact of music and the arts in a new webinar from Renée Fleming, and get a peek at backstage life with Lyric’s senior director of production, Cameron Arens.
