This year we are reprising our 2015 production of Kids Court.

Reality TV runs amok in this rollicking, hilarious, fully-sung, 90-minute satire in which Hansel and Gretel sue their beleaguered Stepmother for abandonment, while the irrepressible Judge Trudi and a jury of rambunctious kids dole out justice in front of a live studio audience. Raucous fun for all ages!

Check out the synopsis and the videos from our 2015 performances

Please sign up on our mailing list, and email info25@familyopera.org if you have questions.

Masks, vaccines, and testing are recommended but not required.

Our Mission

Our Mission: We provide children and adults the experience of telling stories through song, by performing original, entirely-sung operas and oratorios, with lyrics and music accessible and appealing to audiences of all ages. This video is a 3-minute introduction to what makes NCFO unique! (For more detail, here's a 12-minute version.)
