This delightful 40 minute children’s opera is based on the familiar story of Jack and his adventures atop a magic beanstalk. The music is set to the beautiful melodies of Gilbert and Sullivan (famous for their operettas The Mikado, The Pirates of Penzance, and H.M.S. Pinafore). This is a great way to introduce children and grandchildren to the joys of classical music and opera.
Opera for Kids! makes it’s third visit to Greenwood, having previously performed The Three Little Pigs and Pinocchio. They have toured schools, libraries, and concert halls throughout SC for over ten years, performing for thousands of kids. We are thrilled to welcome back Opera for Kids!
