Dicapo Opera Theatre

Bring your entire family to this colorful introduction to the magic of opera!

This 60-minute show combines highlights from Met telecasts projected on a big screen with a live host – young Met soprano Jennifer Aylmer – who is onstage to lead children (ages 6 – 12) and their families through a sequence of interactive video segments, each designed to introduce another aspect of opera, such as characters, story, words and music. Scenes from the Met’s spectacular productions of The Magic Flute, Hansel and Gretel, The Daughter of the Regiment, Gianni Schicchi and other operas are used as examples.

Produced by the Metropolitan Opera Guild, "Opera Explorers" will take place at the Dicapo Opera Theatre, 184 East 76th Street - at 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM on January 31 and 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM on February 1, 2009. Tickets are $25 for Guild Members, Guild Schools and Met Patrons, and $35 for the general public.
