Introduce the children in your life to this wonderful children’s opera—adapted from the classic fairy tale!
Jack’s mother sends him off to sell their beloved cow so the family can use the money to buy food. Instead, Jack is talked into buying some supposedly magic beans. But the beans are magic—sprouting into a cloud-high beanstalk. At the top—one mean giant in a magic castle filled with riches, including a hen that lays golden eggs stolen from Jack’s family. See what happens when Jack climbs the beanstalk, reclaims the hen, and heads back home with a giant in hot pursuit! A charming musical where everyone learns that bullying is never right, being kind is always right, and crime never pays.
