In our online class we sing our version of one of the most beloved arias of all time, “Largo al factotum” from Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville,” one of the most famous, and fun, arias of all time. We start with what everyone remenbers — “FIGARO! FIGARO! FIGARO!!!!” After that, since we’re mainly singing with tiny kids — infants to 9 year-olds and their grown-ups — we don’t exactly worry about singing in the original Italian. Intead we go fully for fruit: “apples and oranges, apples and oranges, apples and oranges, apples and oranges, apples and oranges, apples and oranges, apples and oranges, appples and pears.” Sing that with the original. It works!
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
