A fairy tale that sings.
Little Red Riding Hood's journey through the forest takes on a fresh new sound in composer Seymour Barab's delightful children's opera.
Faithful to the classic fairy tale, the production combines memorable melodies, clever rhymes, and colorful characters into a performance that's both entertaining and accessible for young audiences. Lasting about 35 minutes, it's perfectly suited for children experiencing live opera for the first time.
Following the performance, families will have the opportunity to meet the performers during a question-and-answer session, making the experience even more memorable for young audience members.
