Experience an opera performance at your school!

Our 2012 show Rumpelstiltskin, the Ultimate Bully brings a fully staged opera, with sets, costumes and our professional artists of the Indianapolis Opera Ensemble right to your school. It’s fun and educational!

Grades K-6      |      Length: 45 minutes

Bullies come in all shapes and sizes, and they always come with a bad attitude. Adele and the Prince, along with their mammalian friend, Batzilla, have their hands full with the bully that pushes them around. They don’t even know his name, but he always gets his way!  Their greed and lack of honesty put them in such a pickle that they have to rely on the bully’s help -- and they know that is a mistake. What will he want in return? Set to the delightful and memorable music from Johann Strauss’s Die Fledermaus, there are plenty of laughs as the audience watches the suspense unfold to its bye-bye-bully conclusion, with plenty of great tips for handling bullies (peacefully!) along the way.

An optional question/answer session can follow the show.

Produce and opera at your school!

In our residency show, Hansel and Gretel, your students will design and build sets, props and costumes for an hour-long opera performance. They will rehearse and perform with the professional artists of the Indianapolis Opera Ensemble. It is an unforgettable experience!

Cost: from $2,500 (Travel cost is added for performances outside Marion County.)
Grades 3-8

Hansel is always saying, "Just one more..." and always putting off doing what he's supposed to be doing.  After he and Gretel meet the characters in the forest--the Do and Don't Fairy who sings to them about good eating habits, Elvis the Grease King who tries to persuade them otherwise, and the infamous Witch--Hansel and his sister decide to take responsibility for their own actions. Set to the music from Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel.
