For the thirteenth consecutive year, North Cambridge Family Opera presented a program of science songs at the Cambridge Science Festival (April 12-21 2019). This year's production celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. We presented a program of twenty songs about the history, challenges, and potential destinations of space travel, including songs by eleven contemporary composers about animals in space, the exploration of Mars, and what happens as you approach the speed of light. We also sang a medley of songs composed by Cambridge Public School students under the direction of David Haines and Andrea Gaudette, as part of their CPS Songwriting Workshops. The entire program included an accompanying slideshow of song lyrics and children's artwork.

And listen to/watch our 2017 performance of Singin' of the Rain and our 2016 performance of Giants of Science.

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. Below is a 3-minute introduction to what makes NCFO unique! (For more detail, here's a 12-minute version.)

We are always interested in hearing about new operas or entirely-sung musicals which might be suitable for our group. Please click here for more details of what we are looking for in the way of a "family opera."
