Kids love opera! There’s lots of dress up and fancy costumes, and the singers all sing-narrate EVERYTHING they do, JUST LIKE YOUR KIDS!
Sadly the Vienna Opera is closed, but they are broadcasting their archives for free. Simply sign up here, and watch a new opera or ballet daily at 7:30 pm Central European Time (that’s 2:30 pm EST or until daylight savings in Europe), perfect for that after lunch conference or when you’re getting sick of the kids but it’s too early to drink wine. Or, after you make your free purchase, you’ll also have on demand access to other great shows.
Before the show, let your kids get their fingerprints all over your tablet by letting them take a virtual tour of the world-famous opera house. (Kids love to touch everything!) On the virtual tour, the kids can learn the secrets of backstage, or even go on the roof and learn some cool facts. I’ve lived in Vienna for two years, and I didn’t know that there are bee hives on the roof of the opera! So cool
