CAPE’s 4-6th graders in the Portfolio Design Project (www.portfoliodesingproject.org) had the opportunity to go on a private, guided tour of the Lyric Opera. I was with a small group of 4th graders that seemed to be just as fascinated as I was. We went back stage, under the stage, rehearsal rooms, the costume design studio and wardrobe, prop studio, wig studio, we even walked the cat walk!
