Little Red's Most Unusual DayAn operatic version of the story of Little Red Riding Hood based on scenes from operas by J. Offenbach and G. Rossini.Forest Ranger Dudley is too shy to ask Little Red's mom, the widow Hood, to the Forest Ranger Ball. For that reason he leaves a written invitation in a basket of flowers outside Little Red's house. Unfortunately for Dudley, the basket is delivered to Granny. Granny simply loves men, especially men in uniform. In the resulting confusion Dudley loses his pants, Granny kisses the Wolf, Mom gets impatient and Little Red gets in trouble. In fact, everyone experiences, in one way or another, a very, very unusual day. The Billy Goats GruffWith the music of Donizetti, Rossini, and Mozart, John Davies has taken the traditional tale of three happy little goats who simply want to cross a bridge and expanded it for young students. These goats learn to stand up to bullies and to treat each other with respect to the delightful upbeat music of some of the most famous arias of opera. Ina playground situation that everyone will recognize, Lucy, Ernesto, and Dandini confront Osmin and teachhim about friendship.Children's Opera Theatre Production Highlights
