KidsOp
created a new opera for 2002 on the subject of children in war and
conflict zones.
The opera is designed to heighten awareness of
the plight of such children around the world.
It is designed to be performed by a combination of children (aged around 9
to around 15), non-professional adults, and music professionals
together.
It will be performed in various productions
around the world, using local forces in each place. KidsOp will link
children and adults from each production using the Web. Children and
adults from peaceful countries will be able to learn from children and
adults in conflict zones, and children and adults in conflict zones will
be able to share their experiences through the common medium of opera.
