We have had so much fun performing A Muskrat Lullaby this week for schools all over the panhandle and at the Amarillo Public Library.

Tomorrow is the day! Come see us Thursday at 4:30 at the downtown Library!

We're so excited to add this special program to our lineup of April events!
WT Opera will perform A Muskrat Lullaby by Edward Barnes at 4:30 PM on Thursday, April 16, at the Downtown Library!
Based on Thacher Hurd’s Mama Don't Allow, A Muskrat Lullaby follows Miles the Muskrat and his band, who are banished from town for singing loud music. They escape to a swamp, where they use their music to tame a gang of hungry alligators, ultimately showing the great power of music and friendship.

Come see us at the library!

Don Giovanni opens tonight! Donna Elvira is gonna yell at you if you don’t come. (If you do come, you’ll just get to hear her yell at Don Giovanni.) https://cur8.com/22281/project/133323
