touring children’s opera:
las coyotes y las conejas/
the coyotes and the rabbits

Our popular children’s operas tour the region, visiting libraries, art galleries, museums, hospitals, church schools, and clubs in July and August. In 2027, we bring back our popular production of Hector Armienta’s Spanish/English opera, Los coyotes y las conejas/The Coyotes and the Rabbits. Based on a popular Mexican folk tale, this delightful 30-minute opera follows the adventures of a Scrawny, a young coyote who likes to learn, his cousin Loco who thinks coyotes should stick to hunting, and the two clever rabbit sisters, Chiquita and Banana, who teach the coyotes a valuable lesson about the importance of reading and knowledge!

Performances get booked up quickly! To reserve one for your group, please contact education@tulsa opera.com.

double bill: gianni schicchi & buoso’s ghost

Puccini’s hilarious one-act opera based on a greedy family from medieval Florence gets an update to modern-day Tulsa, where the Donatis enlist the aid of an unscrupulous lawyer to change the will of their wealthy patriach. Buoso Donati has been inconsiderate enough to die, leaving his whole estate to the Church, but his scheming relatives aren’t about to let a legally binding document and the threat of dire punishment for tampering come between them and a fortune! Michael Ching’s equally funny sequel picks up right where Puccini’s final notes leave off, with the relatives enacting a new scheme with a new target … Gianni Schicchi himself!
