Little Red's
Most Unusual Day
Sat, Jan 25 at 10:30 AM & Sat, Mar 1 at 10:30 AM
An operatic version of the story of Little Red Riding Hood based on scenes from operas by J. Offenbach and G. Rossini.
Forest Ranger Dudley is too shy to ask Little Red’s mom, the widow Hood, to the Forest Ranger Ball. For that reason he leaves a written invitation in a basket of flowers outside Little Red’s house. Unfortunately for Dudley, the basket is delivered to Granny. Granny simply loves men, especially men in uniform. In the resulting confusion Dudley loses his pants, Granny kisses the Wolf, Mom gets impatient and Little Red gets in trouble. In fact, everyone experiences, in one way or another, a very, very unusual day.

At Opera Baltimore, we believe opera is for everyone, even the tiniest mischief-makers and their (sometimes) over-caffeinated caregivers. Our children and family programming injects a shot of pure joy and family-focused programming into Baltimore’s cultural scene. It’s where the drama of opera meets the wonder of children where they are, creating a wonderful shared experience. Whether we’re on in the beautiful Engineers Club or out in many cafetoriums around the area, these programs bring the glitz, glamour, and glorious creativity of opera to every corner of our community. After all, building community through opera means breaking down barriers and showing everyone—whatever their age—that opera belongs to them too.
