For their second opera of the Storybook Opera season, Solo Opera has chosen a very unique educational show for all ages, the one-hour comic opera, The Computer Kid’s Magic Night. Written in 1986 by Joann E. Feldman, March 2016 marks the 30-year anniversary of the piece. The story concerns Mickey, a little boy who spends all his time playing computer games and neglects his studies, friends, piano, and outside activities. One night, he accidentally types magic words into the computer and several characters pop out. Each character has a fondness for a special subject - language, math, music, travel, sports - and convince Mickey to use the computer to learn about these subjects and spend his time more wisely. The opera, ahead of its time in 1986, is still quite relevant to audiences today. Not only are many children hooked on their wireless devices, but adults and parents are as well! This opera is a fun way to address the problem of too much technology and how important it is to have a well-rounded education and life.
