The princess, the pirate, and the castle

On Friday, Geek Girl and I went to see a performance at Wolftrap -- the National Park for the Performing Arts. The show we saw was Instant Opera!

Five opera singers sang parts of two different arias, and the audience voted for which aria would be part of the opera. Then the audience made suggestions for setting, characters, and activities. Geek Girl was thrilled when they selected her suggested character of a Superhero Tiger. The opera singers put together a short opera featuring a princess and superhero tiger dancing at a castle. Then along came a witch and a pirate who tried to steal and eat all of the corn dogs. Don't worry, the audience voted for a happy ending so everything turned out okay.
