An original opera experience for kids aged 5 to 10 The Magic Victrola
Introduce the young people in your life to the brilliant world of opera with The Magic Victrola.
The adventure begins when Gracie and Sam are dropped off at their Grandpa's place for summer vacation. While at first the kids are less than excited to be without their modern comforts, things get much more interesting when they discover their grandfather's old victrola and his prized collection of opera records suddenly comes to life! With the help of the mysterious birdman, Papageno, Gracie and Sam are off on a musical adventure through some of opera's most delightful hits.
You'll hear selections from some of the most widely beloved operas including The Magic Flute, Carmen, The Elixir of Love, and more in this whimsical, original opera created for kids aged 5 to 10. Big screens beside the stage will help you feel close to every moment of the action!
Tickets are just $5 for children and $10 for adults.
