Children's Opera – Motivation for the Reception of Art in Teaching Music in Primary Educationom obrazovanju

Abstract Children’s opera is a work of art and although the performance of children’s opera in theater is primarily a visual experience for the young audience, music is what dominates the entire performance. It is important that, while viewing events on stage, children inadvertently receive music, which becomes part of the entire experience. Direct experience of children’s opera can be an incentive for the reception of artwork. Children’s opera offers children a unique art experience through its complex music and stage structure that unites the literary text, music, costume design, and staging. Through the reception of performance, it offers children a unique experience which has a positive effect on their formation of appreciation of culture and music.  It is not advised to teach children’s opera in lower grades of primary school in a way where children acquire knowledge about children’s opera. Rather, students should be introduced into the world of opera through their experience of concrete children’s opera which can be achieved through reception (listening and observing). In this paper, we point to the possibility of implementing such content into the contemporary curricular context.  Key words: children’s opera; music education, primary education.  --- Sažetak Djecja opera umjetnicko je djelo i premda je izvedba djecje opere u kazalistu za mlađu publiku ponajprije scenski vizualni doživljaj, ipak je ono sto dominira cijelom izvedbom upravo glazba. Pritom je najvažnije da djeca, prateci događanja na pozornici, nesvjesno primaju glazbu koja postaje dio njihova ukupnog doživljaja.  Izravno doživljavanje djecje opere može biti poticaj za recepciju umjetnickog djela jer ona svojom složenom glazbeno-scenskom strukturom koja ujedinjuje književni predložak, glazbu, kostimografiju i scensko uprizorenje djeci pruža jedinstven umjetnicki doživljaj koji ima pozitivan utjecaj na njihovo oblikovanje kulturnog i glazbenog ukusa. U primarnom obrazovanju nije preporucljivo djecju operu poucavati na nacin stjecanja znanja o djecjoj operi, vec ucenike treba uvoditi u svijet opere putem njihova doživljaja konkretne djecje opere, sto se može postici recepcijom (slusanjem i gledanjem), a u ovome radu ukazujemo na mogucnost implementacije toga sadržaja u suvremeni kurikulski kontekst.  Kljucne rijeci: djecja opera; Glazbena kultura; primarno obrazovanje.
