The Rhodes College (Memphis, Tennessee) History of Opera class collaborated with Opera Memphis to create a documentary on regional opera production, to present online information about Opera Memphis through a World Wide Web home page, and to construct a class home page to be used as a repository for examples of creative writing. The project required students to work in teams and to publish their findings on the World Wide Web. Assignments included: interviewing a music critic, artists, and producers; performing in the production; photographing the production; and creating multimedia quizzes. Students gained experience with the production of an opera, and developed technical skills that can be applied across academic disciplines. Observations of the process determined: (1) the class worked as a team and interacted with each other in a more meaningful way than typically occurs in a lecture format class; (2) students' perceptions of opera changed positively; (3) students learned to appreciate the difficulty faced by arts organizations to achieve high quality on a limited budget; (4) students' writing was read by a worldwide audience; and (5) the class had pride of ownership in their work, because, unlike the usual research paper, their papers had a continued existence.
