A Victorian Opera production.

Our hero, Zachary, questions his own ordinariness as he discovers an imaginary world of giants, hairy creatures and flying things in this eye-opening opera for children.

Featuring a score from Joseph Twist, known for his stellar musical direction on hit children’s TV show, Bluey, alongside Sidney Myer Fellowship librettist and much loved children’s author, Finegan Kruckemeyer, this opera is an enriching tale for children and adults alike.
