Opera and Children Get Together at
Area Libraries
Supervisor Don Knabe today announced that Opera Tales will be coming
to Fourth District County Libraries. Opera Tales is a new LA Opera
program that introduces children and families to the world of opera.
Supervisor Knabe established a partnership between the LA Opera and
the County of Los Angeles Public Library, and provided funding to
bring Opera Tales to the area.
Actress Doris Roberts will take on the role of storyteller, reading
the dramatic opera stories. Four singers from the LA Opera will join
them, singing various arias and acting out scenes from the stories.
The 45-minute program not only showcases the key elements of opera,
it also celebrates the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth. The
program’s stories and music are from the works of Mozart.
