During the spring and fall months, The Dallas Opera offers FREE entertaining and educational “pop-up” performances of 30-40 minute family-friendly productions! Some performances feature the OperaTruck—an 18-wheel flatbed “big rig” with an outdoor mobile stage. All performances begin at 11 AM.

The Three Little Pigs
Three Singing Pigs, a (Big, Bad) Wolf, and Reading Saves the Day!
True to the classic tale, our three little pigs prepare to build their separate houses to withstand an impending visit by the hungry wolf. Only this time, the pigs are named for famous characters in Mozart operas (Despina, Cherubino, and Don Giovanni!) and they sing their little hearts out as they debate the merits of straw, sticks, and brick as building materials. (Spoiler alert—Despina prevails because of a research trip to the library!)
