Bye Bye Magic Carpet!

My first year Red Balloons classes are so fun! Look what we did in class this week.

There's "smoke", a magic carpet, a princess, a scary genie, a magical lamp, and another princess.

Here's our scary genie, magic carpet, two princesses, and dancing boy also holding the magical lamp.


What are these dress-ups for? you might ask.

For our "Magical Lamp" Puppet Show! That's our name for it, but the piece is actually called "Aragonnaise" from Carmen by Georges Bizet.

To celebrate our last time performing this fun puppet show, the children got to dress up as the characters and act it out! They loved it, and at the same time they are gaining appreciation for classical form and sharpening their listening skills!

 Tues 4 PM Class

 Tues 5 PM Class

At the end of the song, we hear the magic carpet flying away. "Bye, bye, Magic Carpet!"

The children are excited for a brand new puppet show next week: "Waltz of the Flowers". Yay!
