Opera Singers, Students to Perform ‘Pied Piper’

The Los Angeles Music Center Opera will bring a musical adaptation of “The Pied Piper” to some San Gabriel Valley elementary schools. The students will join opera professionals to perform the work for other students and parents after five weeks of preparation.

The fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders will play the rats, townspeople and children who are led away by the Pied Piper. They will also play a variety of percussion instruments, including bells, chimes and shakers.

Performances will be at Loma Elementary School in South El Monte on March 30, Hillcrest Elementary School in Monterey Park April 2 and Los Robles Elementary School in Hacienda Heights on April 13.
