Rockford's Rock Opera

Some time ago I drew attention to 'Rockford Rock Opera' an exciting and innovative idea that you can sample free of charge from the web link above. I am really interested in what teachers and educationalists make of the story and the way it is presented and the potential for educational development along this theme. There is so much here, from a superb storyline developed in an exciting way, to environmental and ecological undertones that come through quite dramatically.

"This extraordinary story spreads a most important message in a mysterious and magical way. Rockford's Rock Opera has been created and produced with love, passion and great skill and will endure as a classic to be enjoyed by the world's children and adults for generations to come." Susan Stranks




There are many more references and clips on YouTube ...

It's a wonderful enchanting text that touches everyone.

I can see this at the center of many class topic webs ..such journeys it will lead to, investigating, creating, modeling.. etc
....and I bet it soon will be a stage production for schools
