Opera Columbus brought their magic to Huber Ridge Elementary School on Tuesday morning, February 10, through the captivating tale of the Three Little Pigs. Students packed the gymnasium to listen and watch as fellow classmates got the opportunity to perform with the professionals.
While brother pigs Don Giovanni and Cherubino set off to make homes of sticks and straw, their sister, Despina, goes to the library to read up on “huff-proof, puff-proof” home construction. After the bully Wolfgang Bigbad blows down the boys’ flimsy homes, they run to their sister’s sturdy new brick house where they are never bullied again.
Opera Columbus is determined to introduce opera and educate people of all ages and backgrounds in the school systems, theatres, and throughout the community as a whole.
