southland opera - stories come alive

Stories Come Alive has received rave reviews from audiences and is included in the Orange County Performing Arts Center Educational Roster. Stories Come Alive uses familiar fairy tales and stories as a vehicle to introduce young people to opera and musical theatre. Some of these stories include:

Cinderella
Romeo and Juliet
Little Red Riding Hood
Beauty and the Beast

Created by co-founder Steve Parkin, this musical presentation is highly interactive with the audience. The elaborately costumed performance shows how modern composers use classical stories as a basis for their own compositions.

Stories Come Alive is ideal for family series, in-school programs or family festival performances. It is highly interactive and brightly costumed and also quick paced, educational and entertaining. An expanded version is also available.

"I liked your songs because they made me realize that I like opera."
--Marlon, 4th grade

"Noriel and Parkin also incorporated such elements as the importance of doing homework, geography, foreign language and the love of reading as well as what goes into putting on a show."
--Peggy Blizzard, Irvine World News
