UC Merced Arts 2024-25 Season: UC Merced Children's Opera, Treble Trouble

 

The Land of Melodia needs a heads up because Count Sticky Fingers is planning to steal all their notes and feed them into the Music Munching Machine! This operatic romp introduces night sky constellations and musical concepts such as the treble clef and how notes work. At its heart, it explores the ways music belongs to everyone, how we’re braver than we think, and the fact that anyone can step up and do the right thing. 

 

The UC Merced Children's Opera is an annual production that pairs UC Merced students with opera singers and theater professionals to perform a children's story for the young... and the young at heart!

 

The music consists of classic opera tunes that are recognizable from their frequent use in pop culture, but with the words rewritten to fit the family-friendly plot. Audience members are taught a song early on and urged throughout the show to interact with the performers.
