Children Pre-K through 5th Grade

The Alabama School of the Arts / University of Mobile Opera Theater invites students to an operatic version of the story of The Three Little Pigs based on scenes from operas by W. A. Mozart.

While brother pigs Don Giovanni and Cherubino set off to make homes of sticks and straw, their sister, Despina, goes to the library to read up on "huff-proof, puff-proof" home construction. After Wolfgang Bigbad blows down the boys’ flimsy homes, they run to their sister’s sturdy new brick house quite ready to admit that going to the library and reading books is a pretty smart thing to do after all.

The show runs approximately 40 minutes. For more information, go to the website of the author’s page at: http://www.operatales.com/three-little-pigs.shtml.

Seating is limited; groups must make reservations.

For more information or to reserve seats, please call the Ben May Main Library Children’s Department at 208-7086 or crhodes@mplonline.org.
