“Children, and those who remember your childhoods, I would like to tell you a story about a curious little fellow…a puppet whose greatest wish was to stop being a puppet and begin being a boy, a real boy.” Travel to funland with the SLSO and actors from The Black Rep and dancers from COCA as they bring to life the enchanting tale of Carlo Collodi’s most beloved marionette, all while entertaining, educating and introducing your family to the riches of live music. This concert will also feature excerpts from other childhood favorites including The Barber of Seville Overture and Flight of the Bumblebee!
Arrive early for pre-concert activities!
Take your photo with puppets Pinocchio, Geppetto and an adorable bumblebee from Bob Kramer’s Marionettes. Create your own bumblebee with COCA teaching artists. Plus, visit the Instrument Playground in the lobby for a hands-on experience with different orchestral instruments.
