“Three Little Pigs” Coming August 20th at Reading Public Library!

Berks Opera is proud to collaborate with Yocum Institute for Arts Education and the Reading Public Library for a FREE Berks Jazz Fest featured performance of the children’s opera “The Three Little Pigs”, with music by W.A. Mozart and text by John Davies, Friday August 20th at 4pm.

While brother pigs Don Giovanni and Cherubino set off to make homes of sticks and straw, their sister, Despina, goes to the library to read up on “huff-proof, puff-proof” home construction. After Wolfgang Bigbad blows down the boys’ flimsy homes, they run to their sister’s sturdy new brick house quite ready to admit that going to the library and reading books is a pretty smart thing to do after all.

Thank you to our sponsors Customers Bank and Enersys. Thank you to Board Member Michael Feeney for sponsoring Sweet Ride Ice Cream, serving up free kids scoops to the first 100 in attendance!

Featuring: Maria Damore, Jarrod Miller, Rod Nevin, and C.J. Hartung

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
