This online session will introduce you to Verdi’s comic opera Falstaff, adapted from Shakespeare’s Henry IV.
Led by vocal animateur Marie Claire Breen, this will be a friendly space to learn, sing, have fun, and meet people.
For care providers taking part with a group, it would be ideal to set the room in a semi-circle and for participants to have some space to move.
This event is part of the Arts in Care Home Digital Programme presented by 100% Digital Leeds.

On Wednesday 25 October 2023 at 2pm there will be a Relaxed and Dementia-friendly performance of Falstaff at the Leeds Grand Theatre.
Everyone is welcome to attend, there will be a completely relaxed attitude towards any spontaneous noise, people needing to move around, or reacting to what they see or hear on stage.
Why not dress up for the occasion? Participants could listen to this recording ahead of the workshop.

Step-by-step:
If you don’t have Zoom on your device:
To join the call, please click the link from your email, which should open in your web browser. Your browser will then prompt you to open Zoom (if you have it installed on your device) or to join the call from your browser.
Alternatively, you can open the Zoom application, click ‘join a meeting’, and enter the meeting ID and password.
Unfortunately, the time delay on Zoom means it’s impossible for everyone to sing at the same time. To solve this, everyone is muted during sessions so you can sing along and learn at home without distraction.
There are two View settings on Zoom – ‘Gallery View’ and ‘Speaker View’. Please make sure you select the ‘Speaker View’ setting on Zoom once the workshop has begun, to ensure that you see the session properly. You change your View settings by clicking the icons in the top right-hand corner of your screen.
Sometimes, other participant’s faces can cover the right-hand side of the screen when the sheet music is being shared on-screen. If the faces are obscuring your view of the music, you can remove them by either minimising the thumbnails, or clicking ‘View Options’ at the top of the screen and selecting ‘Side-by-Side’ mode.
We will be captioning all Zoom sessions. To enable the captions in Zoom, click on the ‘CC’ button which is to the right of the ‘Record’ button. You can then follow every word being spoken – this can be useful if you are hard of hearing or listening in a noisy environment.
