Scottish Opera is set to prove that you are never too young to enjoy music - with two unique opera experiences especially created for babies and toddlers. A fun way to give children their first live music experience, these ground-breaking productions offer a sensory experience of touch, texture, sight, sound and song, featuring simple movements and music that will capture the imagination of babies and adults alike. The music and soundscape, composed by Rachel Drury, will be brought to life through performance and percussion. BabyO, the musical event for babies, creates an interactive environment for both babies and their carers: a secret garden full of ducks, fish and busy bees. Seamlessly combining recorded music with live singing, the simple sounds, words and movement help stimulate language development in a relaxed and intimate setting. SensoryO introduces toddlers to live performance in a fun, engaging environment, featuring a magical night-time ride through the jungle and an encounter with a friendly lion. Percussive sounds and a tactile set make this an engaging experience for children, full of sound, rhythm and music.
