Opera San Jose is kicking off the holiday season with a production of Engelbert Humperdinck’s family-friendly opera. Kids ages 6 and older who attend will not only enjoy a fully produced opera, they’ll also receive a small gift upon entrance, intermission treats, and opportunities to interact with costumed characters and be photographed in fairy tale settings in the lobby. Parents who may be overwhelmed by the Candyland sets can take refuge in Humperdinck’s Wagner-inspired score, and maybe some sparkling wine. Performances run through Dec. 1.
