Event Details

A fun time for families and kids of all ages!  The Billy Goats Gruff is a musical story based on the famous folktale, performed by talented young singing actors from Opera on the James' Tyler Young Artist Program, featuring music by great composers like Mozart, Donizetti, and Rossini.

 

The Story

An after-school game of hide-and-seek is ruined when a bully blocks the bridge, preventing three billy goat friends from getting home. Remembering what their moms, dads, and teachers have told them about dealing with bullies, two billy goats resolve to go home a different way and get help from grown-ups. The littlest girl goat, however, not wanting to abandon the beloved doll that’s been snatched from her, confronts the bully!

After the bully falls in the river, she shows him kindness. He learns kindness from her, and he asks to be forgiven. By the time the other two goats return, the soggy, forlorn ex-bully has become a new friend.
