Imagine children being completely captivated by opera.  It can happen!  Little Songbook Opera brought the magic of opera to TidePool Bookshop with their delightful program Faery Tunes for a Midsummer Afternoon…Their performances were playful, imaginative, and engaging, but never condescending. They honored children’s capacity to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of poetry and operatic voices, and the result was totally enchanting.

“I had the pleasure of seeing Little Songbook Opera’s performance of Faery Songs song cycle at Tidepool bookshop. It was incredible to see such high caliber performers engaged with such fun material! I loved the structure of including poems and picture books along with such beautiful music. Along with the toy pianos and face painting, it made for a really whimsical and lovely afternoon! I look forward to future performances and am glad that they’re making art and opera accessible for little ones!”
