The holidays are almost here! Will you be naughty or nice?

Take a break from holiday planning and join us at The Language of Birds

December is already here, and all of us at Tulsa Opera are humming along getting ready for a number of very exciting upcoming projects!Tulsa Youth Opera will present the Oklahoma premiere of John Kennedy’s The Language of Birds at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 11. The performance will take place at Nathan Hale High School, 6960 E. 21st St., Tulsa, OK 74129.  Admission is free to the public and all ages are invited to attend.

The Language of Birds December 11 at 3PM
The Language of Birds, based on the children’s book by Rafe Martin, follows a boy as he learns that money is not necessarily the key to happiness. When he helps a baby bird who is lost in the forest, the bird’s mother teaches Ivan to understand her language. This insight pushes him through life’s struggles.
This production will be directed by Rebecca Herman, who also directed our  tour of The Silence Tree–which is sold out through January– and the very successful production of Trouble in Tahiti that we produced with the Philbrook Museum in March of this year.

Naughty or Nice? 
The New Yorker magazine thinks we’ve been pretty nice.  Tulsa Opera’s season opened in October with a critically acclaimed production of The Barber of Seville.  The New Yorker magazine critic Alex Ross called Tulsa Opera “one of the sturdier and more adventurous organizations in its class.” He commented on Tulsa Opera’s history of supporting rising talent and the importance of regional opera companies in advancing this art form.

During the first six months of our season, more than 14,000 students experienced an opera performance, many for the first time, at the Student Matinee of Barber and our Opera on Tour! in schools around Oklahoma and nearby states.   And we have so much more planned!
