Review
Absolute Children’s Opera entranced audiences at Just So Festival in 2018 with their performance of ‘Hurrah for the Pirate King’. What an amazing introduction for young children to the world of Opera, it was the perfect mix of performance and interaction and so held their attention from start to finish. Spellbinding!
