Outreach

For the past several years I have been working on bringing outreach shows to schools around Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York. Along with my pianist, Aymeric Dupre La Tour, we have reached thousands of students with our one hour presentations. The show is based on the concept that Opera can be fun and engaging. I introduce the basic tenets of the classical voice, languages and voice parts. I then take the students through an Opera by impersonating a variety of characters and voices.

Are you interested in bringing Opera to a younger crowd? I have original scripts available by request.

FROM THE STUDENTS

"Prince Ramiro, you did a fabulous job, I will tell my parents I want to see more Operas!!" (5th Grade)

"Your voice was royal, I was impressed, it must be so hard" (4th Grade)

"You surprised me, I want to do that when I grow up" (4th Grade)

"Dear Prince Ramiro, I think you were funny, brave, tricky and romantic." (5th Grade)

FROM THE TEACHERS

"Chris Lucier was incredibly engaging and had 150 5th graders' attention the whole time! - no easy feat! I know this will be a "life-changer" for some of these kids - we are so grateful for this opportunity and the chance to meet such wonderful, talented musicians."
