Join Opera Theatre of Saint Louis for a fun, engaging 70 minutes of movement and stage makeup workshops, both with audience participating, followed by an abbreviated performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's hilarious The Pirates of Penzance.
The sensory-friendly performance features current and former Opera Theatre Young Artists with piano accompaniment. It is recommended for students in grades 3 to 10 and is tailored for young people with sound sensitivities. A quiet room and pacing lanes will be available.

The performance is also part of Opera America's National Opera Week, a concentrated critical mass of opera events throughout North American from Oct. 28 - Nov. 6. Tickets are $10 per person.
