Ghost in the Opera House

Prairie Fire Theatre Children's Opera Presents Ghost in the Opera House!

Mister Maestro knows his rickety old Opera House is in trouble. Pipes groan, things crash in the night, and what’s with all the knocking?  Is it just an urgent need for repairs or – gasp – is there a ghost in the Opera House?!?  If so, the timing couldn’t be worse because it’s time for the La, la, la, Lalapalooza Singer of the Year contest.  This event is the very last chance for Mister Maestro to turn things around. Look!  Here come the semi-finalists – Susanna, Adele, Papageno, and the Pirate King. They are here to compete, not to make friends.  But . . .  as things fly around and treasured items disappear, the La, la, la, Lalapalooza contest itself falls into jeopardy.  If there is a ghost, what does he want?  Is it possible these opera superstars could find a way to work together and save the day?

 This 40-minute operatic romp looks at empathy, teamwork, and why music matters.
