New
opera for children deals with cyberbullying |
by DEBORAH
MARTIN - San Antonio Express-News | Pub: 10/24
|
The target audience for “Beautiful Dreamer,” the newest addition to UTSA Lyric Theatre’s Opera on the Run repertoire,
is likely too young to know much, if anything, about Twitter, Snapchat and whatever new social media platform popped up in the last 20 minutes. But as co-creator Michelle Pietri sees it, the elementary school children who will see the piece are not too young
to be made aware of the pitfalls of an online existence.
