Join us in Bernheim Hall of the Ben May Main Library with the Mobile Opera!

Featuring the music of Offenbach, Rossini, Donizetti, and Verdi, John Davies has adapted the tale of Dorabella the Cat, Barcarolle the Dog, Eddie Pensier the Rooster, and General Boom the Donkey into a delightful children’s opera. General Boom seeks to form a band for the town of Bremen using the outcast farm animals as musicians. It doesn’t take long for them to discover that they have to consider each other’s feelings before they can make music, but can the four very different creatures band together before pirates steal all their instruments? The performance is appropriate for children ages 3-10. It is approximately 30 minutes with a Q&A with the artists following, if time permits.

Admission is free. For more information, please email Adrienne McSwain at amcswain@mplonline.org or call 251-494-2298.
