Opera for kids


Posted September 10, 2012 by Carrie Coppernoll Comment on this article Leave a comment

You need to take your kids to this. Really. My husband and I took our daughter to see the Cimarron Opera when they toured the Metropolitan Library System last year. It. Was. Adorable. She was completely enthralled and watched the performance of “The Three Little Pigs” with undivided attention.

OK, she looks a little scared in this photo, but she isn’t really. She was so excited. It was amazing. So when I heard about this, I bought tickets right away. We’re taking her to one of the kid shows.

Cimarron Opera proudly presents the Villains Weekend, October 5, 6 and 7. Multiple events are planned for different audiences to enjoy, all to be presented at “Davenport’s,” located in the northwest corner of the Couch Restaurants complex on the University of Oklahoma campus, 344 4th Street in Norman. Cast members for the productions feature professional singers and students from the Metro area, including Marcy Gonzales, Suzanne Stanley, Kristen Fitzgerald, Rodney Westbrook, Shane Pruitt and many more.

Cimarron Opera will present Villains of the Opera, an evening event, on Friday, October 5 and Saturday, October 6 at 7:00 p.m. at Davenport’s. Audiences are invited to enjoy drinks and hors d’oeuvres, while experiencing an evening of performances featuring the creepy, the crafty, the evil, the tricky – the rogues, vixens and villains of opera. Performances will include song selections from Carmen, Les Miserables, Tales of Hoffman, Ruddigore and more.
