FiZZ!
Opera Queensland brings the magic of opera to our youngest fans with the whacky, weird and wonderful production FiZZ!
Based on the classic comic opera The Elixir of Love by Donizetti and reimagined for young audiences, FiZZ! follows a teenage love triangle between Nemorino, an awkward textbook nerd, Adina, his obsession and great beauty and Benny, the spoilt son of a supermarket tycoon.
With the help of a magic love potion, this coming-of-age story has at its heart the message that goodness can prevail.
Filled with twists, FiZZtastic music and a cast of excellent young performers, FiZZ! is designed to delight and entertain children new to opera.
Presented in creative collaboration with shake & stir theatre co.
