We always suggest an age for Young Ears in the title, because we know from experience that children enjoy it best from that age on. This is an estimate made in consultation with the creators, because sometimes they make it dark, quiet or loud during the performances. But of course you know the child best.

Opera for the little ones

Can a nose on a cell phone really smell? Can you kiss a virtual mouth? What does a television hear? Using arias from famous operas, Loopneus will find out for you.

With songs and videos, you will go on a journey of discovery through the senses, looking for a solution to the itchy problem of Nose. After all, what's wrong? Mouth, Ear and Eye help to unravel the mystery.

The result is a "nasal" opera for sniveling, sniffling young children, freely inspired by Gogol's "The Nose" and featuring a musical take from Purcell, Offenbach, Gershwin, Handel, Delibes, Bizet and Shostakovich.
