Every year, the Indianapolis Opera Education Department creates a brand new children's opera to share with the youngest members of our Hoosier community, along with their teachers and families. These operas are a part of our Sing Me A Story series, which focuses on bringing the power of opera to elementary school children of all backgrounds.
Often inspired by fairy tales and fables, each children's opera has a moral at the center its story. Children are not only exposed to the thrill of live opera singing, but they are also given the opportunity to learn about important topics like bullying, overcoming fears, acceptance, and making new friends.
This year's opera, Camilla Paints the Town, tells the story of Camilla the Chameleon who has only ever known a world of black and white. But one day, she discovers her colors and begins to see the world with a newfound wonder. She excitedly brings a little color to the lives of everyone she meets, who each finds the colorful way she sees things to be both intriguing and perhaps a little scary. In the end, we'll see if Camilla's new friends can see the beauty in a fresh perspective!
