[00:00:06.837]"The Phantom of the Opera" was the largest production
[00:00:09.180]of the Lied Center, with the most performances
[00:00:11.410]we've ever had of any artistic event,
[00:00:13.780]with 16 performances, including one performance
[00:00:16.570]exclusively for students,
[00:00:18.170]over 2,000 kids got to see the show.
[00:00:20.600]It's also the biggest production.
[00:00:22.400]20 semi trucks and also the highest number of people
[00:00:27.320]to ever see a program at the Lied Center,
[00:00:29.310]over 28,000 people.
[00:00:31.459](dramatic music)
[00:00:33.860]The Lied Center for Performing Arts not only brings
[00:00:36.190]great performances to the stage, education is a central
[00:00:39.365]part of our mission, and for "Phantom of the Opera"
[00:00:42.560]we had a wide variety of educational outreach programs,
[00:00:45.650]where the artists from "Phantom of the Opera"
[00:00:48.240]worked with our students.
[00:00:49.546](piano music)
[00:00:53.815]♪ Once upon a time ♪
[00:00:56.626]So today, I get to meet with a few students,
[00:00:59.027]field some questions,
[00:01:00.470]give them some great answers, hopefully.
[00:01:02.940]And listen to a few of them sing,
[00:01:05.370]and kind of, breathe some life into their performances,
[00:01:07.900]and help them find that next step in their performance.
[00:01:10.330]This part, you can kinda get angry
[00:01:11.957]at the fact that the war stole your husband from you.
[00:01:16.000]Perfect.
[00:01:16.834]You know?
[00:01:17.667]He talked about the little details about acting
[00:01:19.320]that you might not think of.
[00:01:20.500]And just ways to finesse it and make them better.
[00:01:22.710]And he also talked about performance versus auditioning
[00:01:26.040]and that process for us.
[00:01:27.562](crowd applauding)
[00:01:31.550]Was the story clearer that time?
[00:01:33.320]Yeah.
[00:01:34.410]I'm incredibly grateful to the Lied Center
[00:01:36.370]for always making these things available to us
[00:01:38.584]and for letting us get tickets to go and see
[00:01:41.427]"The Phantom of the Opera" and other shows,
[00:01:43.210]and just having all of that right here in Lincoln
[00:01:45.030]is so important.
[00:01:46.378](woman singing)
[00:01:51.080]You know, it's so vital
[00:01:52.430]that the Lied Center for Performing Arts makes
[00:01:54.250]things like this happen, because if the students don't see
[00:01:57.678]working performers, it makes it a little more challenging
[00:02:01.100]for them to step out, once they have to get out
[00:02:02.760]into the real world.
[00:02:03.810]So, when you open the doors this way,
[00:02:05.500]for people to come in and do what I'm doing today,
[00:02:07.858]you change lives in a great, great way.
[00:02:10.800]Absolutely. Thank you so much.
[00:02:11.667]Thank you.
[00:02:12.515](crowd applauding)
[00:02:16.172]Seating shallow, breathing lungs, masquerade!
[00:02:19.797]So, today we learned
[00:02:21.330]a combination from "Masquerade"
[00:02:22.960]from "Phantom of the Opera" by the two dance captains
[00:02:25.760]of "Phantom of the Opera".
[00:02:26.980]Masquerade, you're gonna take three walks.
[00:02:29.270]Two, three, coming to a B plus.
[00:02:32.240]It was really cool to do, because you don't often
[00:02:34.860]get to do musical theater, and especially not
[00:02:38.241]getting to learn from the professionals, themselves.
[00:02:40.870]So, it was a really cool experience to have.
[00:02:43.100]How do you get to the other side?
[00:02:44.650]It's less than you think.
[00:02:45.633]It is?
[00:02:46.828]It is.
[00:02:47.661]Don't travel too much.
[00:02:48.995]What I love, teaching master classes,
[00:02:51.480]because I was once a student, I would have loved to have
[00:02:55.690]done something along those lines and that was not
[00:02:58.190]something that was necessarily an opportunity for me,
[00:03:00.960]with my path.
[00:03:02.640]I really liked the acting portion,
[00:03:05.040]they really encouraged us to act along and sing
[00:03:08.190]with the music.
[00:03:09.023]It gets kids and people inspired.
[00:03:11.180]Like, I was sort of thinking about a musical theater career
[00:03:13.550]and this sort of made me like a little more thinking
[00:03:15.870]that it was actually possible.
[00:03:17.360]And then you retrace your steps.
[00:03:18.960]That's it. There you go, yeah.
[00:03:20.320]That'll be better, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:03:21.690]Workshops like this are really great opportunities
[00:03:23.780]to expose dancers and performers to the arts
[00:03:26.980]and get 'em into, like, some really great experiences.
[00:03:29.206]Masquerade!
[00:03:32.010]The Lied Center has an amazing history of bringing
[00:03:34.046]the greatest artistic productions in the world
[00:03:37.030]to Lincoln, Nebraska.
[00:03:38.400]The success of this production is going to lead to more
[00:03:41.680]of the greatest artistic events in the world
[00:03:44.410]to come to Lincoln, Nebraska.
