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. Southland Opera uses familiar fairy tales and stories as a way to introduce students to opera and musical theatre. 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.
