Opera Carolina’s Family Opera series are the perfect opportunity for kids to experience opera for the first time.
Opera Carolina is presenting The Busy Bee in free performances for the community during the 2024/2025 season.
Meet Bella the honeybee who is searching for her place in her bee community. Is she a nurse bee, a cleaning bee, or a drone bee protecting the hive? Bella struggles with each job and feels discouraged. Then she meets Queen Camille who shares that everyone has a special purpose and a job only they can do. Encouraged, Bella works with her friends and discovers that she loves being a flower bee!
Although the performances are free, RSVPs are appreciated. Follow links below.
