VOIS On Tour

Vancouver Opera In Schools (VOIS)

Entering its 40th season, Vancouver Opera In Schools has introduced more than 1.5 million young people and their families to the power and beauty of opera in their own schools and communities. These fully staged and costumed operas have been adapted into English for students and families, and can be performed in a gymnasium, theatre or community centre. VOIS tours throughout the province including the Okanagan, Kootenays, Northern BC, Vancouver Island, and Lower Mainland.

On Tour in 2011-2012

What could be better than a fairy tale, told in song?

This opera is full of lively tunes, fast-paced fun, comical characters and a few added surprises. Perfect for young audiences (kindergarten to grade 7), Hansel & Gretel is brought to life in an enchanting English adaptation of Englebert Humperdinck's full length opera, Hansel und Gretel. Hansel & Gretel is 45 minutes long, followed by a short Q&A and sung in English by four singers, accompanied by a pianist.
