Family Opera: My Head is Full of Colors

Audiences of all ages are invited to two free matinee performances at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. of the one-act opera: My Head is Full of Colors. 
Please see important admission and COVID-19 requirements below.

Maria awakes one morning to find her normally plain hair replaced by all the colors of the rainbow. Her head is "full of colors," and on this day she draws and paints like never before. Each day she wakes up with something unexpected in her head and experiences the world in new and different ways. Her father responds to her vivid imagination with loving arms and fascinated observation. My Head is Full of Colors is a life-affirming self-esteem lesson that ignites imagination and reflects the joys of life and learning.

Composed by Chris Pratorius Gómez
Libretto by Nicole Paiement
Based on the children's book by Catherine Friend
