A fun, family-friendly opera where animals learn empathy, fairness, and friendship through catchy songs and playful storytelling.

Get ready for a wild operatic romp through the jungle with The Bartered Banana! Presented by Painted Sky Opera, this original, family-friendly opera tells the tale of Bobo the monkey, who trades his beloved banana for something he thinks is better—only to realize that friendship and fairness are the real treasures. Bursting with humor, catchy songs, and colorful animal characters, this interactive performance introduces children to the magic of opera while exploring big ideas like empathy, self-awareness, and community. Perfect for kids and grownups alike, this engaging show is a musical treat you won’t want to miss.
