Shoestring Opera: The Schoolyard Carmen

$20 Adult | $10 Child

An inspiring and action-packed story of independence matched with Bizet’s unforgettable music. In this age-appropriate adaptation of the famous opera, Carmen is a feisty little girl with a dark past – a newcomer to this country. When Tory Adair, the “coolest kid in school” tries to bully her, she stands up to him. Through Carmen’s story we look at the immigrant in Canadian society, the child who is different, schoolyard bullying, personal independence, and the saving properties of art. Shoestring Operas are 45 minutes long, accessible, relevant, and a stretch to the imagination. Glorious music, madcap humour, and great storytelling. Irresistible to all ages!
