PRINCETON – Opera for the Young traveling company stopped at Lincoln School on Tuesday, and third-graders got the chance to perform the classic “Cinderella,” opera-style, alongside professional artists.

The show featured four singers and a pianist. Students were previously auditioned by music instructor Vickie Holmes, and 16 were selected to join the company in their performance.

Holmes said studying opera and experiencing it first-hand gives students a better understanding of the training that goes into the music.
