Red! - NZ Opera (30 dates)

Specially created for primary-aged tamariki, Red! is a lively, interactive retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with a modern twist, led by esteemed Director Jacqueline Coats and Music Director Brent Stewart (The Monster in the Maze). Through music and storytelling, it explores themes of courage, independence, and intergenerational connection — all wrapped up in a colourful, high-energy performance that sparks curiosity and creativity.

How does it work?

We bring the opera to you! We take care of everything – singers, pianist, set, costumes, and props. All you need to provide is an audience and a suitable performance space.

Your students will be part of the magic! We’re excited to add an element of student participation to our 2026 tour. Students can expect to:

Learn (with our support) and perform 1–3 short choruses with the cast

Experience a professional opera performance up close at their own school
