Students at Loyal Heights Elementary in Ballard are performing the opera "Siegfried and the Ring of Fire" Feb. 13 in collaboration with staff, singers and musicians from the Seattle Opera.
The fourth and fifth-grade performers worked with the Seattle Opera as part of an Artist in Residence program for the week leading up to the performance but had been practicing their parts for nearly a month.
"Siegfried and the Ring of Fire" was written by Jon Dean, Seattle Opera's education artistic administrator.
