Nashville Opera’s ‘Goldi B. Locks’ continues CECA’s effort to bring arts experiences to local schoolchildrenAs the Barksdale Elementary second-graders filed out of music teacher Denise Rives’ class on Feb. 25, one of the students had a very important thing to say.
“That was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen!” he declared before slipping into the hallway back toward class.
Indeed, the performance that the students saw – “Goldie B. Locks and the Three Singing Bears” by the Nashville Opera – had the youngsters romping, stomping and squealing. To these students, the operatic retelling of the classic children’s fairy tale was just right, you could say.
The Nashville Opera performed at Barksdale Elementary thanks to the Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts (CECA) at Austin Peay State University and the generous support of the Heydel Family Foundation.
