Sixth grade students from Howell Road School ventured to Lincoln Center's Metropolitan Opera House in Manhattan with Howell music teacher, Mr. Rodgers, to enjoy the Metropolitan Opera's production of Puccini's "La Boheme." Supported and sponsored by the Howell Road PTA the sixth grade takes this yearly trip so they can have the opportunity to experience some of the finest opera productions in the world.
The students were enthralled by the production originated by legendary Italian director Franco Zeffirelli. Damani Rose, a sixth-grader from Mrs. Schimmenti's class, described the experience as "Amazing." The trip supports not only the music curriculum, but also allows the students to study characters, plot lines of stories, vocabulary, and history. Surrounded by the sights and sounds of Manhattan, the students loved being thrust into the artistic community of Lincoln Center and walked away with a memory to last a lifetime.
