The Seattle Opera at St. John!

We are excited to welcome The Seattle Opera back to St. John tomorrow, Friday, April 26. Students in grades K-5 and the middle school drama elective will be treated to a performance of Monkey & Francine in the City of Tigers. 

This year’s opera fuses folktales from India, China, and West Africa together to tell the story of Monkey and his brainy sister, Francine. The siblings must learn to cooperate to escape a hungry crocodile and outwit the greedy Lord of the Tigers. Combining multiple styles of music from Bollywood, Ethiopian jazz, Latin, and classical, this opera shares the timeless message that we all have different strengths, but when we work together, anything is possible. 

To help cover the cost of both the pre-performance classes and the Opera itself, we are treating this as an “On-Site Field Trip.” We request the following payment:

• Grade K-2 = $5.00/child 
• Grade 3-5 = $8.00/child 

Please use the following link to make your payment and note payment is for “Seattle Opera, 4/2024”: https://st-johnschool.org/no-cache-form-field-trip-special-events/. Financial aid is available; please contact Andrea Marquez, amarquez@st-johnschool.org.
