A free newsletter, three times a week
The only opera and ballet newsletter that teaches a 4-year-old, a teenager and their parent the same piece — then checks on Saturday what stuck.
For French- and English-speaking parents who are curious about culture, not musicians, with children between 4 and 15 — ready to learn it alongside them.
Here's what's inside an issue
The offer
Here's what's inside each issue.
One listenable excerpt
Every issue centers on a single excerpt, linked straight to YouTube or Spotify so the family can press play together.
The composer and the date
Who wrote it, and when — so the piece has a place in time, not just a title.
The story behind it
The history or the drama behind the piece, told in plain words anyone can follow.
One word to keep
A single word of musical or opera vocabulary, explained once and used again next time.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
Three issues a week, arriving at a fixed hour — enough rhythm to build a habit.
French and English
Every issue is written in both languages, side by side.
The habit
Designed to become a family habit.
The trigger
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the issue lands in the inbox at a fixed hour.

The habit
Our opera moment — after dinner, or in the car, the family presses play and talks about what they heard.
The sample

After listening, a short quiz. The Score page shows what actually stuck — like correctly naming the composer of the piece the family heard that week.
Not a test to pass. A page to notice what came back on its own.

Named Giuseppe Verdi correctly
Moment
Placed the scene: the toast
