The Opera Singer

The word OPERA was on the power point presentation screen...

"Do you know what OPERA means?" I asked.

They nodded...they knew.

But, just as a way to explain - I burst into an operatic male voice and sang in a deep bass voice...O, Solo Mia....

Then, I said, "Or in the higher range," and in my best very high falsetto voice, I sang...O, Solo Mia....

The students burst into spontaneous applause...all six classes of them!

I laughed and laughed.

"Maybe I should be an opera singer instead of a teacher," I said.

Oh, but then, I would never have had this wonderful opportunity...
