FEBRUARY EVENTS AT FLORIDA GRAND OPERA
Sunday, February 1, 2015
10:00am-1:30pm
Florida Grand Opera Family Day
South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center10950 SW 211th Street
Cutler Bay, FL, 33189
Florida Grand Opera and South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center are pleased to announce their second installment of Family Day on Sunday, February 1, 2015. This free day of opera-related activities is back for its second year after the popularity of last year’s event, which attracted a sold-out crowd, including several hundred local children and their families.
Young and old alike will enjoy learning to play a tune or two in the Instrument Petting Zoo, an interactive station where participants can actually pick up and play real instruments, like those used in the FGO orchestra. Even the teenagers can take part in FGO’s Wig, Mask, and Prop Shop, where participants will get to build, paint, and decorate their own opera production piece. In addition, free face painting will be offered to those who complete multiple activities throughout the day!
A new addition to this year’s Family Day includes the FGO Kids Chorus. Young musicians with little to no musical experience can now participate in this an hour-long session of rhythm and singing activities to teach the basics of music performance!
The afternoon will end with a performance by Florida Grand Opera’s Young Artists, who will perform a variety of beloved Spanish-language music, including zarzuela. Children who stay until the end of the performance will be given a free goodie bag, which includes an “Opera Funtime” book, generously donated by the Young Patronesses of the Opera.
This event is free but requires a ticket. Please click here for tickets or call the SMDCAC Box Office at (786) 573-5300.
