Outdoor Opera
Pack your picnic basket and find a spot on the lawn – it’s
time for Singapore Lyric Opera’s (SLO) seventh annual
Opera in the Park at the Botanic Gardens. This year’s
lineup includes music from favourite classics such as
Puccini’s Tosca and Bizet’s Carmen, performed by various
talented vocalists and accompanied by the Singapore
Lyric Opera Orchestra. You can also look forward to pieces
such as “The Little Mermaid” and “Edelweiss” (from The
Sound of Music) performed by the SLO Children’s Choir.

Countryside Creatures
This month, little ones aged five
and up can join Mole, Ratty, Badger
and Mr Toad in a stage adaption
of The Wind in the Willows , the
beloved children’s literary classic
by Kenneth Grahame. Direct from
the UK, this production follows the
foursome from one exploit to the
next – including countryside picnics
and boat rides – culminating in a
battle not only to save Toad Hall, but
also their very way of life, teaching
values of friendship and dedication
along the way. See it from 12 to 14
June at Drama Theatre at School of
the Arts (SOTA). Tickets from Sistic.

– every Smurf’s favourite time of
year – and the wicked Gargamel has

festivities, forcing the Smurfs to work
together to transform the wintry breeze
into a warm and colourful spring.
