‘Green Eggs and Hamadeus’

Would you listen in a box? Would you listen with a fox? Stanford University’s Bing Nursery School, which hosts an annual performance series for kids and families, presents “Green Eggs and Hamadeus,” a kid-friendly opera based on Dr. Seuss’s “Green Eggs and Ham,” on Sunday, Oct. 22. The show includes references to classical and popular music and features Stanford’s resident group St. Lawrence String Quartet (which includes two former Bing parents), soprano Claire Kuttler, Stanford chamber music students and child actor Hayden Wall. Composer and host Robert Kapilow will hold pre-performance interactive sessions with the audience, introducing the instruments and pointing out some of the musical themes in the opera. Performances will be held at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. at Dinkelspiel Auditorium (471 Lagunita Drive, Stanford) and last for one hour. Tickets are $10. Go to Stanford Tickets.
