True to the classic tale, our three little pigs prepare to build their separate houses to withstand an impending visit by the hungry wolf. Only this time, the pigs are named for famous characters in Mozart operas (Despina, Cherubino, and Don Giovanni!) and they sing their little hearts out as they debate the merits of straw, sticks, and brick as building materials. (Spoiler alert—Despina prevails because of a research trip to the library!)

National Shrine Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe

The big, bad wolf is on his way, so it’s time for our three little pigs—Despina, Cherubino, and little Don Giovanni—to build houses to withstand all his huffing and puffing! Luckily, the power of song is on their side (Mozart arias, to be precise)—plus their library cards give them access to all the information they need about home construction! A terrific 30-minute, kid-friendly opera!
