We did what was described but as 'Saturday Night at the Opera'. I was able to go to Mozart's The Magic Flute and Puccini's La Boheme and gather the discarded programs which we used for our filmed performances. I also copied my tickets (changing the date) so that we could give each resident a complimentary ticket to the opera (some family members were also invited) Everyone was encouraged to 'dress up' and the men escorted the women to the 'theatre' :) .... I work within a small house where all the residents have dementia - we were all astonished to see almost all stay to the very end.
P.S. I would have responded earlier but I didn't realize that my comment (Aug. 25th) was posted - nor was I aware of your question or any of the comments - I just stumbled upon them tonight :) ...
I have been in this field for close to 15 years. I came across your website initially because I was searching for a shared, personal forum with other professionals in my field that was not attached to random advertising and monthly fees. After discovering your website which hosted a forum that was exactly what I was looking for, as well as providing a mountain of resources that didn’t require you to follow several external links to get to, and to top it off no monthly recurring fee...Jackpot!
