July 17-19

Step into Sherwood Forest with Pacific Opera Victoria’s Youth Summer Performance Program as they present a fully staged production of Robin Hood, the spirited 55-minute opera by Ben Moore and Kelley Rourke. Featuring talented local performers aged 8–18 alongside professional artists, this lively retelling of the classic legend is filled with adventure, humour, music, and heart: a fun and memorable experience for audiences of all ages.

Weaving together text and music from the 2011 opera, composer Andrew Paul MacDonald and librettist Stephen Massicotte reimagine Mary’s Wedding for narrator, two singers, and piano—an intimate reflection on love and remembrance.
