What a treat! The Boston Lyric Opera Company will perform the Hansel and Gretel Opera as part of the Free Young Person’s Concert Series tomorrow April 19, 2008.

The performances will take place at the Trinity Church at 651 Pequot Ave in Southport which is close to Westport Connecticut. Showtimes are at 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm.

I did mention that this concert is FREE and is recommended for kids ages 5 to 17.

This is a wonderful introduction for children into the world of opera as most children are already familiar with this classic fairy tale and will be able to follow along.

This excellent concert is brought to us by Music for Youth, Inc. which is a non-profit organization that’s mission is to spread a love and understanding of classical music amongst today’s youth and the Pequot Library. And it is natural that a performance of this caliber would be underwritten by the New England Foundation for the Arts and Westport Connecticut’s own Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.
