heartBeat

We open the door to the World of opera on the terms of the very young children

Babies, toddlers and their accompanying adults are invited to join a poetic and gentle musical journey.

A holistic experience, where relationships are created, and all senses are put into play. Both big and small settle on soft cushions between exciting objects, along with two opera singers and two musicians, and the adventure can begin. The children’s interaction in the moment is an essential part of the experience, and the language is both Danish and English, babyspeak and, not least, the language of the heart. The last part of the performance invites free play in the set and playful meetings with the four performers. A very special first meeting with opera where all senses are caressed.

“The performance is warmly recommended to all – both small and big”

Århus stiftstidende

“Hurry up and see it, if you have a child between 0-2½ years and want an experience that will enrich you as well as your child”
