FROM
OUR DIRECTOR
 Ellen Douglas Schlaefer, General Director
 I
am happy to present FBN Productions' operas for the young and the young at
heart. For the eight consecutive year, FBN Productions, Inc. is proud to offer
professional quality opera to schools, libraries, clubs and arts organizations.
We bring together young professional singers and the best operas written with
the young audience in mind. Whether as a resource for the classroom teacher or
as an opportunity to expand student's horizons, opera can be informative,
entertaining, inspirational and just plain fun. I hope you will take a moment to
review our programs and consider the possibilities.
FBN Productions is a 501(c) (3)
non-profit corporation and is supported
by the South Carolina Arts

PRODUCTIONS
The mission of FBN Productions is to
promote music-drama as a synthesis of all disciplines of the human
experience, for everyone from school children to senior citizens.
Every civilization has sought to express itself in song, word,
movement and picture. This total experience has been separated into
the concentrations we study in the classroom: history, language,
mythology, science, physical education and the arts. Students rarely
have the opportunity to witness what they study combined in a live,
interactive format.
Opera is the one medium that combines these elements to touch all of
the human condition. It can touch your students. It can be part of
their education.
FBN believes that presenting new and existing opera in the class
room provides a unique forum for multi-disciplinary and
cross-cultural pursuits.
