Great Performances PBS

For the past few years we have been blessed to be able to participate in a program with our local opera theater company. Our girls lives have been enriched tremendously by it. In order to prepare for each upcoming opera we visit PBS' site on Great Perfromances. Lesson plans by grade/age levels, information, etc.

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/education/education.html

You will need to spend some time browsing around here to see eveything they ahve to offer you in the various art forms of  performing. Check often as it is updated seasonally as best I can figure it. Double check what is currently being offered on PBS this season too in order to round out your lessons.
