Included with regular Museum admission; no registration required  

You’re invited to the farm, where most of the animals like things to be ‘normal and pretty’–not noisy or different! When the new ducklings hatch, there is one ‘ugly duckling’ who doesn’t fit in with the others and spends her days reading by herself. But when a big, bad wolf comes on the scene, it will take someone like the ugly duckling–who has learned about big, bad wolves in her stories–to outwit him and teach the whole farm about the value of being true to yourself. 

Named as a nod Binghamton’s famous carousels, Tri-Cities Opera’s Opera-Go-Round program has been delivering the excitement of a fully-staged children’s opera throughout New York State and northern Pennsylvania for nearly 50 years. Audiences engage with our singers and pianist to explore this unique art form and take away valuable social-emotional learning lessons. 

 

First show: 11 a.m. 

Second show: 1 p.m. 

Each show is 45 minutes long with 15 minutes for questions and answers with the performers. 

 

This performance is made possible thanks to the Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes and Chemung Canal Trust Company.
