With music by Joel Thompson and libretto by Andrea Davis Pinkney, the west coast premiere of this new opera is a celebration of imagination, nature, and friendship. The Snowy Day is a perfect introduction to opera for young people and a joyful reminder for audiences of all ages about impermanence and the wonders of youth.
