Composed by award-winning Canadian composer Dean Burry, this vibrant 45-minute opera is specially crafted for young audiences while delighting viewers of all ages. With playful theatricality, humour, and heart, it’s a perfect introduction to opera — whether it’s your child’s first experience or your own.
