LESSON PLAN
BASED ON GEORG PHILIPP TELEMANN’S DER SCHULMEISTER.
ADDITIONAL MUSIC, LIBRETTO, AND SINGING TRANSLATION BY RACHEL J. PETERS
Presented Live on Zoom

Our live and interactive digital production Lesson Plan brought an internationally celebrated operatic contralto (Stephanie Blythe) into the world of Zoom teaching while her headlining stage engagements are put on hold. Thought to be teaching trained singers at a prestigious conservatory, she caught her assistant in a scheduling faux pas and instead took the Zoom stage for a classroom of liberal arts students at a community college with the same acronym – a group with little singing experience or interest in what the great diva had in mind. Intercepted by an overwhelmed school administrator (Laquita Mitchell) with a side hustle as an amateur choir director, the pair clashed over teaching technique, singing and the true meaning of art. While scales and arias were part of the curriculum, with a little humor and a lot of heart, they left with a much more valuable lesson in humility, humanity, and truly finding their voice.
