By: BWW News Desk Feb. 06, 2016
Come enjoy an exciting afternoon of music and fun at Seattle Opera's Frost Fest! Featuring performances by the company's Youth Opera Chorus, Teen Opera Players, and professional musicians, audiences will hear (and sometimes get to sing along with) classical and folk music from around the world, including songs from Liberia, Italy, Ireland, and the Dominican Republic.
"With opportunities to make and play instruments, try on costumes, and peek into backstage theater tricks, this is a fun, interactive afternoon for families with young kids," said Barbara Lynne Jamison, Seattle Opera's Director of Education and Community Engagement.
Attendees can arrive as early as 12:30 p.m. for free drop-in activities in the lobby. Make instruments, play instruments, dress up in costumes, and explore other technical elements of the theater. The one-hour performance will begin at 2 p.m.
This event is free for ages under 18 and $5 for adults. Tickets are required for both children and adults. To purchase, go to seattleopera.org/frostfest.
