Free Sunday performance at the Boulder Public Library is full

By Peter Alexander Jan. 24 at 3:10 p.m.

Boulder Opera’s upcoming performance of the children’s opera Xochitl and The Flowers by Chris Pratorius Gómez is sold out.

That is, all of the tickets for this free performance have been claimed. One of three children’s operas Pratorius Gómez wrote for the Hands-On-Opera project of Opera Parallèle in San Francisco, Xochitl and The Flowers is a bilingual opera sung in both Spanish and English. The plot is based on true events that took place in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood, about an immigrant family’s determination to put down roots while preserving their native heritage. 

The performance will include an explanation of opera and the plot and an art activity for children making cutout flowers. 

While this performance is already full, Boulder Opera has plans to tour Xochitl and The Flowers next season.
