The opera company delivered a fun, interactive program on rhythm, tempo and other musical concepts as part of the Fine Arts at Burleigh (FAB) program.
With their week of standardized tests completed, Burleigh Elementary School’s five classes of second graders headed to the band room Friday afternoon for a special performance. As a part of the school’s Fine Arts at Burleigh (FAB) program, each grade enjoys a yearly visit from a “cultural partner” from the community. Skylight Opera Theatre, based in Milwaukee, came to entertain the second graders for 45 minutes of singing, dancing and teaching.

Greasers, the Pink Ladies and T-Birds come to Brookfield during East’s fall performance of Grease this weekend.
Brookfield East High musical director Corey Schneidewent sums up his debut production this way: "It all comes down to fast girls, fast guys and fast cars." East's version of the classic musical 'Grease' — opening Friday and running through Sunday — will hold up to its time period and amuse crowds, Schneidewent ensures. "I kept all of the innuendos and nostalgic elements that make up 'Grease,'" Schneidewent said. "It’s all about the rock 'n' roll."
