Welcome

2025 Family Opera

Announcing Our 2025 Family Opera:

KIDS COURT

Music by Cambridge's own David Bass
Libretto by renowned BBC comedy writer John Kane

 

TENTATIVE PERFORMANCE DATES
March 29-30 and April 5-6, 2025

AUDITIONS: October 19 to 27, 2024

Reality TV runs amok in this rollicking, hilarious, fully-sung, 90-minute satire in which underage plaintiffs and a jury of their (kid) peers beset the beleaguered grownup defendant, while the irrepressible Judge Trudi doles out justice in front of a live studio audience. Raucous fun for performers and audiences of all ages.

Check out the synopsis and the videos from our 2015 performances

Everyone age 7 or older who wants to perform will be accepted (children under 10 require a participating adult), but we need to hear you sing for casting and voice part assignments. Auditions will be in mid-October, and details will be posted soon, so don't change that channel!

Meanwhile, sign up on our mailing list, and email info24@familyopera.org if you have questions.

Our Mission

Our Mission: We provide children and adults the experience of telling stories through song, by performing original, entirely-sung operas and oratorios, with lyrics and music accessible and appealing to audiences of all ages. This video is a 3-minute introduction to what makes NCFO unique! (For more detail, here's a 12-minute version.)
