Family Opera at The Grand Theatre - Cautionary Tales!
 

Opera North’s witty adaptation of Belloc’s deliciously macabre Cautionary Tales for Children was a big hit with audiences and critics when it first premiered in March 2011.

Bad boys and girls including lying Matilda, runaway Jim and daredevil George entertain you with their disobedient ways and dreadful ends. Full of colourful tunes and stories, this is a lively short piece of musical theatre for all the family and an ideal introduction to opera.

Suitable for children aged 5+ and their families. Duration: approx 60 mins.

Based on Hilaire Belloc’s verses
Composed by Errollyn Wallen
Adapted and directed by Pia Furtado

There is also a workshop for 5-10 year olds plus their families called 'Participate' which is in conjunction with Cautionary Tales. The children can construct their own shakers, whackers, gongs and drums and use them to explore Cautionary Tales and the characters within the opera. This is on Saturday 3rd March 10am-12pm (adults - £3 & children are free).

Tickets for the performance can be purchased at a discounted rate with a valid NUS card, the Student Parents Society will be attending the workshop and performance on Saturday 3rd March so please get in touch if you would like to join us!
