Charlie and the Wolf
What would have happened if classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker had met... and what if they gave each other music lessons?
Charlie and the Wolf is an original commissioned opera for children composed by David Ragland, Jr. with lyrics by Mary McCallum.
This charming new opera celebrates uniqueness and reminds us that  everyone is playing with the same notes... we just interpret them differently!
