The Magic Victrola captures the hearts of young audiences
By COC Staff
From December 1 – 3, 2017, the Imperial Oil Opera Theatre was packed with children who excitedly came to see The Magic Victrola, the Canadian Opera Company’s new opera for families. As on-stage duo Gracie and Sam play a mysterious Victrola they discovered in their grandfather’s attic, Papageno (of The Magic Flute fame) appears and begins to teach them all about opera. When scenes from classic operas like Lakmé, Gianni Schicchi, The Tales of Hoffmann and Carmen started to unfold before their eyes, young opera-goers were enthralled.
