BambinO

Bring Your Baby into the World of Opera.

BambinO, a unique opera created for babies ages 6–18 months, is touring Los Angeles County. In this story about a mother bird and her newly hatched chick, little ones are encouraged to engage with the performers and add their own bird calls to the soundscape. This 40-minute show celebrates the infant imagination, immersing open-minded listeners in a sea of new sounds and bright colors. We're thrilled for your baby to experience a show made especially for them. Admission is free; advance reservations required.

Hear more about what makes BambinO so magical from Connects Resident Stage Director Eli Villanueva and performing artist Maria Elena Altany in this short video.

BambinO is a Scottish Opera, Manchester International Festival and Improbable co-production presented by LA Opera Connects; composed by Lliam Paterson and designed by Giuseppe Belli & Emma Belli.

BambinO returns to LA County this June. Browse the schedule below and call the performance venue for more information.

"It was such an extraordinary show and my 14-month-old son absolutely loved it. Everyone from the performers, musicians, stage managers and staff were so compassionate and patient with the busy babies like mine."

"I really liked that the babies were able to walk and crawl around and play with the pillows they had in the middle... and it was amazing how much they responded to the music. You can tell that they were really feeling it and paying attention to all the different sounds."

"The creators of this opera clearly knew their audience and took this age group seriously. The quality of the program made it so that even though it was for babies, the whole family could enjoy it. "
