The Wondrous World of Opera: Finding Your Voice

The Wondrous World of Opera: Finding Your Voice (WWO) is dedicated to bringing opera, musical theater, and art song to children. The show runs approximately 45 minutes and includes: Pre-Show Discovery Time, Introduction to Song group activities, Performances by ePOP (with opportunities for children to join in), and a Post-Show Q&A.

WWO is not your typical performance where everyone is expected to sit and hold still; children are encouraged to engage, interact, and respond. ePOP creates a fun, engaging experience for young audiences, introducing children to the magic of live performance and the joy of attending a show from an early age.

Set in 1920, in working-class North Philadelphia, this comedy tracks a family thrown into chaos by their daughter’s suitor, a pseudo-socialist buffoon. Show Off became a theatrical sensation as one of the first plays to depict the new American middle class.  The show was a “monster hit” playing for 571 performances. The playwright’s teenaged niece, Grace Kelly, made her stage debut in the show’s premiere.

Runtime: 2 hours with a 10-15 minute intermission
