Pépito

GOOD STORIES + GOOD MUSIC = OPERA FUN FOR ALL AGES!

Competing Suitors and Silly Hijinks—Grand Comic Opera on a Family-Friendly Scale!

Audience favorite Pépito is back! The lovely and faithful Manuelita is at the center of this smalltown love story, and despite being pursued by local suitors, she insists on keeping her marriage promise to Pépito, who is away at war. Manuelita’s resolve is tested as new discoveries come to light, but a happy ending ensues, with lots of fun and surprising plot twists and turns along the way. The Dallas Opera Orchestra is joined by a fabulous cast for this one-act, English-language opera packed with gorgeous singing and beautiful music.

Join us for this special performance, sung in English, and designed for audiences aged 3 and up! Pépito is just under 60 minutes (with no intermission!), making this the perfect family show! All seating is general admission at the beautiful Winspear Opera House. Featuring The Dallas Opera Orchestra conducted by Paolo Bressan.

Tickets just $5! Buy both family titles and pay $4!
