SEASONS OF ROK
​

2020-21
ROK's 13th Season
ANA Y SU SOMBRA
by Gabriela Ortiz
Libretto by Mónica Sánchez

During its first two seasons, ROK presented original programs that featured a sampling of opera arias in a variety of languages, which introduced kids to a wide array of characters and styles.  Since then, ROK has presented condensed versions of classic operas, such as Dido and Aeneas, as well as operas designed specifically for children, like Rufus and Rita.  Through generous grants and donations, ROK has sustained an exciting commission series to expand the repertoire available for young audiences.
