Stomp - Oh, man! Your parents are dragging you to see some stage show at the theater, and you think you'll be bored. All of a sudden, some guys come out on stage banging on trash cans and pipes, dancing a rhythm with push brooms, and in general making so much noise that no one hears you when you yell, "Hey! Who are these guys?" You've just been introduced to STOMP, the hot dance show from the British Isles. This Web page lets you hear some fantastic beats created with everyday materials, and if you go to the "Percussion for Kids" area of this site, you'll find some sound and noise experiments that you can try at home.
Web Operas - Ten nineteenth-century light operas are presented here, from Pirates of Penzance to H.M.S. Pinafore. You'll find all the music, the lyrics, and the dialog of these Gilbert and Sullivan (and other) operas.
