About Delea Shand
Madame Chandelier's Grand Theft Opera is a children's opera-comedy by Delea Shand performed at The Green. When Madame Chandelier's daughter is sucked into a video game and kidnapped by the evil Queen of the Night, Madame Chandelier must recruit opera's fiercest characters — Carmen, Tosca and Madame Butterfly — for an epic battle. This 60-minute adventure blends operatic drama with comedy and audience participation, and is directed by P Burton-Morgan. Suitable for ages 5 and over.
Why see this show?
A genuinely inventive collision of video game adventure and opera for families — think boss battles with Carmen and Madame Butterfly. Great for introducing children to opera through storytelling they already recognise.
