Toi Toi Opera - Goldie B. Locks and the Three Singing Bears
Sunday 28 January 2024
Time
11.00AM – 12.00PM
Venue: North Quad, The Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora, 2 Worcester Boulevard
Free
Toi Toi Opera kicks off your new year with an operatic telling of the story of Goldilocks by John Davies, based on the music of W. A. Mozart and J. Offenbach.
Goldie B. Locks doesn’t just like bugs – she loves them! When a beautiful butterfly flutters off into the woods, she chases it, forgetting a promise made to her mum to stay close to home. Ending up lost and alone, Goldie B’s story unfolds much like the traditional Goldilocks, but with one important difference – she befriends The Three Bears, and learns that honesty is always the best choice – even for a sneaky soup robber.
Bring your baby bears to the North Quad for a heart-warming introduction to opera – and even better, it’s free!
In the event of wet weather this performance will take place in the Great Hall.
This free event is part of Open Air, a relaxed programme of events with wide appeal, running until early February.
