CHILDREN’S OPERA | PRESENTED BY PEABODY OPERA OUTREACH
A hungry monster crawls out of the sea intent on gobbling the inhabitants of a small island. Two brave sisters work together and use the power of love to battle the monster in order to save their island home. Written by award-winning composer Edward Barnes, The Hiding Tree is loosely based on an ancient folktale from the islands of Micronesia and is a wonderful introduction to opera! Similar in theme to the fairy tales Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel, it teaches children about solving problems for the greater good, that strength is not just physical, and love survives everything.
The charming production is performed in English with piano accompaniment, is fully costumed and staged, and has a brand new set. Peabody Opera Outreach performs outreach operas each season, cast entirely of Peabody Conservatory students (as well some audience volunteers!), and brings enjoyable, family-friendly operas to schools and communities. Appropriate for elementary students or anyone young at heart!
Estimated running time is 35 minutes.
