Join us for a special Children's Opera at SCHC!
STONE SOUP pairs composer Joe Illick and librettist Mark Campbell for an operatic retelling of the classic European folk tale. Their reimagining will transport audiences to Blessing, Texas for a rocking-chair view of the comings and goings at Max’s General store. From the opera’s opening notes representing a young girl’s stomach rumblings, through the whimsically collaborative creation of the title meal, to its uplifting ending, STONE SOUP imparts a timeless message: we all have something to contribute and sharing makes things better for everyone.
STONE SOUP was commissioned by Fort Worth Opera by arrangement with The Barbara Hogenson Agency, Inc. STONE SOUP is 35 minutes long and sung in English. Recommended for Grades K-6. Free with registration.
Every donation will go towards the costs of presenting this event and making it accessible to all.
