Re-introduce yourself to this enchanting story of discovery and innocence or experience it for the first time where nostalgic literature meets operatic beauty. The music brings Peter’s wintery world and sense of wonder to life and features sets inspired by Keats’ award-winning illustrations. The music was composed by Joel Thompson and the libretto was written by Andrea Davis Pinkney. The operatic version of the story premiered in Houston with a performance by the Houston Grand Opera in 2021. With The Snowy Day – Opera tickets, you can experience this story in yet another form. The latter adaptation won two Daytime Emmy Awards. The story has been adapted into many forms, including an animated movie, narrated by Jan Harvey, and an animated Christmas special, including the voices of Laurence Fishburne, Regina King and Angela Bassett. The story follows young Peter as he explores his city aloe after the first snowfall of the season, making snowmen and snow angels along the way. The collage illustrations won Keats the Caldecott Medal in 1663, making it the first picture book with an African American protagonist to win a major children’s award.
It features Peter, his dark skin and red snowsuit standing out brightly against the snow, as he looks at his footprints in the fresh snow. Many will recall seeing the iconic cover of Ezra Jack Keats’ children’s book, The Snowy Day, in their libraries, bookstores or their own homes.
Join Peter as he explores the snow-covered city on a cold, winter day with The Snowy Day – Opera tickets.
