I’ve recently completed an NCEA study guide for Bizet’s “Carmen”. The project was commissioned by Prima Volta, a charitable trust based in Hawke’s Bay, with the aim of helping local teachers make opera accessible for their students.

If you are a teacher looking for a music work to study in 2017, then “Carmen” is a great option, as you have the choice of attending a live performance in Napier, during the Festival Opera season in February 2017, or in Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch as part of the NZ Opera season in June/July 2017. http://www.nzopera.com/2017-operas/
