Meet the 2026-2027 Resident Artists
In John Davies’s adaptation, The Three Little Pigs, siblings, Don Giovanni, Cherubino, and Despina, plan how they will build their new homes. While Don Giovanni and Cherobino decide on straw and sticks, Despina decides to research “huff-proof, puff-proof” building methods at the local library. In the meantime, the hungry wolf, Wolfgang Bigbad, blows down the homes of Despina’s brother and sister. Will Despina’s analysis of construction materials save their “bacon”? Is knowledge more powerful than a wolf’s appetite? Find out the answers to these questions in this delightful retelling of the classic folk tale based on the scenes and music from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s operas.

“The audience guide is AMAZING, and I can't wait to share it with students.”

"We have been so lucky to have your program to bring Opera to so many children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience it.
Your performers have always been so kind and patient with our children, and it has been such a joy to watch their faces and reactions during the programs."
--Kimberly Canfield, Music Teacher and Chair of the TPS Elementary Music Program, Harvard Elementary School
So let me tell you - last month's show was absolutely amazing! The kids and staff loved it so much.
Of the three questions at the end that the kids could ask.....two of them were compliments for the actors/singers!
Our children may never have been exposed to the opera had you forgotten about us! Now to think that our kids will have the experience again!!!!!
I am so pleased and excited!
--Suzanne Muggy, Principal, Rosary Cathedral School
