Family Opera: Gastonia

Join us for an afternoon of family fun! Presented in partnership with the Gaston County Museum, our season feature Los Coyotes y Las Conejas (The Coyotes & the Rabbits) will be performed and a meet-the-cast shared afterward.

About the story, composed and written by Héctor Armienta:

Meet Scrawny, a young coyote on an adventure learning to read – something no decent coyote would do – and his cousin, Loco, aiming to set him on the right path. Guiding us through their misadventures are the mischievous rabbits Chiquita and Banana, having their own fun with Loco and his lack of learning.

This 35-minute bilingual opera is based on a Mexican folktale, underscoring the importance of education to a life filled with adventures in knowledge.

This Family Opera is FREE, but RSVPs are appreciated.
