The Manitoba Underground Opera is returning to The Pas, giving children and people of all ages some exposure to classical music and opera. The goal of their Opera for Children Tour is to bring opera and classical music experiences across the province.
“The Manitoba Underground Opera was founded in 2008 by a group of students who wanted to share their love of opera,” said Manitoba Underground Opera Administrative Director Janice Marple. “Since then, we've grown into a fixture of Winnipeg's arts scene, presenting an annual season that includes three fully staged operas, concerts, and outreach events around the city. Our Opera for Children Tour began in 2017, and now brings opera to more than 1000 children all over Manitoba each year.”
This year’s production for the Opera for Children Tour is based on a classic children’s story that includes both animals and music.
