Toledo Opera to Present ‘The Three Little Pigs’

Published Tuesday, November 3, 2026

Toledo Opera is set to present a free community performance of “The Three Little Pigs” on Nov. 8, 2026 at 4 p.m. at Epworth United Methodist Church.

The performance will be followed by a cookies-and-punch reception and a meet-and-greet with the artists.

“The Three Little Pigs” is an original retelling of the classic folk tale based on scenes and music from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s operas, adapted by John Davies. “The Three Little Pigs” is presented as this year’s production of Toledo Opera’s award-winning Opera On Wheels program, a 40-year educational outreach initiative that brings live opera directly to schools and community venues across Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan.

This year’s production tells the story of siblings, Don Giovanni, Cherubino, and Despina, and their plans to build their new homes.

“The Three Little Pigs” is performed by Toledo Opera’s 2026-27 cohort of Resident Artists: Jenna Grissom (soprano), Caroline Friend (mezzo soprano), Jeremy Do (tenor) Timothy Krueger (baritone), and Charles Ligus (pianist).

In a statement, said June Galvin, Toledo Opera board member and member of Epworth United Methodist Church said, “We’re so excited to bring this joyful performance to Epworth and to share it with families across our community. Opera can tell powerful stories in fun and unexpected ways, and this event is a wonderful opportunity for children to experience the magic of live music.”
