Peace At Last, a new opera for 3-5-year-olds

Mr Bear can’t sleep because Mrs Bear is snoring, so he goes to sleep in Baby Bear’s room. But Baby Bear is pretending to be an aeroplane, so he goes to sleep in the living room…

Performed in a new composition by Joanna Lee for three singers, accompanied by harp and woodwind, OperaUpClose presents their new opera for children, based on Jill Murphy’s much-loved picture book, which has been delighting families for generations.

These three bears will be taking over English National Opera's home at the London Coliseum with morning performances during the Easter Holidays.

Peace At Last is performed in English, includes live music and puppetry and is suitable for children aged 3-5, families and any adult with a sense of fun and wonder.
