Peanut Butter & Puccini Family Opera Adventure
Thursday, June 11, 11 am-1 pm
Saturday, June 13, 11 am-1 pm
Peanut Butter & Puccini offers you a chance to bring your children and grandchildren to DMMO's home theater at the Blank Performing Arts Center in Indianola for a backstage tour to see everything that goes into creating an opera production. We'll show you the costume shop, the wig and make-up stations, the props department, the catwalk where the lights hang, the orchestra pit, and the stage itself, where the singers give amazing performances. Each ticket includes a peanut butter sack lunch and a kid-friendly performance of The Barber of Seville! This event has become so popular over the years that two dates are offered. Don't miss it!
