Boulder Opera presents a musically compelling and visually stimulating chamber opera for children that takes us on a journey around the world, exploring fire myths of three different cultures. Young audience members will meet a singing rainbow crow, the god of thunder, and a moon-chief, only to name a few! The first scene, “Rainbow Crow,” comes from the Lenapé Indians of North America, the second is the story of Prometheus from ancient Greek mythology, and the last one is the world premiere of a new scene, “Iwarame the Caiman,” from the Yanomami-Sanema Tribes in Venezuela.
Appropriate for K-5 audiences and families
Sung in English with instrumental quartet
Performance time: 35 minutes
Shows in Louisville, Boulder, Longmont and Lafayette
