Saturday Mornings At the Opera: German Opera Tales
Discover opera with your little ones
Children enjoy an interactive opera designed especially for kids under the glittering chandeliers of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. The whole family will make lasting memories and have an unforgettable experience. Before the show, little ones get their wiggles out with a full hour of music, dance, and art workshops. They will create special souvenirs to remember their first (or second, or third) time at the opera. Plus, meet our local arts partners and discover new ways to explore creativity with your family, right here in LA.
