This is the 28th consecutive year that Dwight-Englewood has hosted the Creating Original Opera program, which is produced in cooperation with New York’s Metropolitan Opera.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said fifth-grader Benjamin Matiash, one of the “Crew of 52” public relations officers. “I never thought that I would be responsible for so much writing [and] for helping to design our logo with my partner, Allison Labutin, all at the age of only 11!”
