Abstract: The Scientific Opera into classroom promote creativity and STEM knowledge together with Art and cross-disciplinary work. The Opera brings together diverse forms of artistic expression and also allows teachers to introduce innovative ways of directing science classrooms. An approximation to the scientific elements at the Opera from the presence of the Moon in the History makes easier to understand the Opera in the context of STEM content. The Global Science Opera Project (GSO) proposes and develops scenarios and scenes from Opera for STEAM Creative Learning. The four editions of GSO provide brief cases of the Spanish experience that illustrate pedagogical, methodological and didactic opportunities, composition and artistic participation (composition, performance, design of costumes and sets). There is also evidence of the acquisition of key competences. We end up highlighting some of the specific achievements of collaborative interaction of public organisms, companies and research centres with the participating schools.
