Dear Santa Barbara Opera,
Thank you for coming to our school. It was a treat. I like how all of the actors sang in different voices. I like how the actress Carmen inches her way across the stage. The bullfighter is funny when he comes on stage. He laughs a lot. What are the names of the songs? I liked the first song.

Dear Santa Barbara Opera,
Thank you for performing for us. I really like your voices. Was that your first performance at Vieja Valley School? Thank you for doing your best. Where are all of you from? I had never heard an opera before. That was my favorite opera that I've ever heard.
Sincerely,
Oliver

Thank you for singing for us. I really enjoyed it. You guys sing high and low. The songs sounded great. You guys sing great. Which places do you perform? Which languages do you guys speak? It was pretty loud. Do you go to far places or close places? How long did it take to sing like that?

Dear Santa Barbara Opera,
Thank you for giving us the privilege to listen to your fine work. I don't think I could sing that loud. You must have had to practice really hard. I like Roberto. Do you really fight bulls? Where do you all come from? You all have beautiful voices.

Dear Santa Barbara Opera,
Thank you for performing for our school. You were great. I loved it so, so, so much. This was my first opera I ever have seen in my whole life and I think I will go to one of your opera plays with my grandma because now I like opera and my grandma already likes it. I wish you could come to our school again.

Dear Santa Barbara Opera,
Thank you for using your time to come and sing for Vieja Valley School. I enjoyed the last scene of the opera. Did you always want to sing? I really enjoyed your wonderful music. It must have been hard to make your voices so high. I think that you were amazingly beautiful. I also very much enjoyed the lovely piano; it went so well with what you were singing. I like the way you were expressing yourselves so much with your song.
Your friend,
Emily
PS- I hope you felt welcome at Vieja Valley.
