School Time Performance
Opera Saratoga & Troy Savings Bank Music Hall Present:
STONE SOUP
Thursday, March 19, 2025
Grades K–6 | 35–45 minutes (+ 15 engagement activity)
TICKETS ARE FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME.
An operatic retelling of the classic folk tale with music, humor, and a message of community: we all have something to contribute.
ABOUT:
STONE SOUP pairs composer Joe Illick and librettist Mark Campbell for an operatic retelling of the classic European folk tale. Their reimagining will transport audiences to Blessing, Texas for a rocking-chair view of the comings and goings at Max’s General store. From the opera’s opening notes representing a young girl’s stomach rumblings, through the whimsically collaborative creation of the title meal, to its uplifting ending, Stone Soup imparts a timeless message: we all have something to contribute and sharing makes things better for everyone.
STONE SOUP was commissioned by Fort Worth Opera by arrangement with The Barbara Hogenson Agency, Inc.
