The Frog Prince

Kids and Family • Musical theatre

Australia • SA Premiere

State Opera South Australia presents a new show aiming to get young children familiar with the artform of opera and learn a few lessons along the way.

The Frog Prince is a modern retelling of the classic Grimm tale, where a spoilt princess encounters a sassy frog and an unlikely friendship blossoms. They embark on a fantastical and uplifting journey, learning lessons about friendship and the importance of looking after the environment along the way.

The show features a variety of popular operatic arias from composers including Mozart, Rossini and Bizet, where lyrics have been transformed and translated to English to captivate and wow young audiences.
