Questions about this event
Question:
Is this suitable for children 5 yrs old and up? Thanks
Answer:
Thank you for checking. This production is not intended for young children. If your child is accustomed to attending operas, it might be suitable for them. Please note: singing will be in Italian, duration will be approximately 2 hours (including intermission) and some humor might be considered too crude for young ears. Feel free to contact the puppet center directly if you have additional questions/concerns: info@nwpuppet.org
