About Springtime Stories and Songs with Oxford Opera
Ever wondered what it would be like to perform on stage? Do you love to sing, act, and play games together? Join Oxford Opera at MOX for a magical musical journey and experience the awesome world of opera for yourself!
Families are invited to travel with us through the stories that music and opera tell. The workshop will gently introduce children to the idea of storytelling through music and help them discover and explore their own imaginations and creativity. The session will be led by Oxford Opera’s Education Manager, Catie Simpson, and will involve drama and musical games as well as some creative arts and crafts.
This workshop is suitable for children aged 5 to 8, but older ages are welcome. Each child ticket includes free entry for a parent or carer. Accompanying adults must stay with their children for the duration of the event.
There are 3 sessions available, each workshop will last 60 minutes. 10.15am – 11.15am, 11.30am – 12.30pm and 2.00pm – 3.00pm.
