Featuring Soprano Lara Ciekiewicz | Lyrics Below
It’s sneezin’ season again! As we start to reenter the outdoors and reacquaint ourselves with all of the allergens that come with it, Lara's got rhythm and a few tips for keeping those hands clean and sneezes contained.
In the era of COVID-19, washing your hands is anything but a 'quick & dirty' job! Health experts say we should use the proper technique and scrub for at least 20 to 30 seconds – as long as it takes to sing Happy Birthday twice. But who says you can’t sing something else?
Pacific Opera is here to help! We have created the Handwashing Public Service Video Project, a series of how-to videos featuring singers from our past and future productions, with music by your favourite opera composers and new words by Bill Richardson.
Watch (and sing along) as our opera divas and divos demonstrate proper handwashing procedures while singing popular arias to new lyrics.
Corona-librettist Bill Richardson is an author, humourist, former CBC radio host, and current corona-inspired balcony performance artist.
Handwashing to . . . . I Got Rhythm
Summer's callin'
Pollen's fallin'
It's appallin'
We're in sneezin' season again.
Hail, good fellow,
Crook that elbow
What the hell, bro,
Gotta keep those droplets contained.
Ol' man Covid
Tell him go, kid,
We all know, kid,
What's in store.
Somethings not right
Nostrils feel tight
Oy, gesundheit
Washing hands is hardly a chore:
Who could ask for anything more!
