Kindergarten, first and third graders enjoyed an outing to the opera, The Legend of Rusalka at UH Hilo. The story of the little mermaid is based on this opera! What a treat to hear beautiful voices sing a tale that we are all familiar with and experience the cultural performance of opera!

\nTehani: “I saw that Jezebaba became nice.”
\nLiwai: “In the story Jezebaba is an octopus witch.”
\nLansyn: “In the story, Rusalka became a person.”
\nIsabella: “Everybody sang at the opera.”
\nSkye: “Rusalka lost her voice because she gave it to Jezebaba.”
