Calgary Opera is set to present “Little Red Riding Hood,” the famously funny, bite-sized opera by Seymour Barab.

The one-hour family favorite brings a playful twist to the classic fairytale, making it the perfect introduction to opera for young audiences.

Mieko Ouchi, Stage Director of this production, who is also a Canadian actress, playwright, and director, said, “I am thrilled to be making my debut with Calgary Opera this season with ‘Little Red Riding Hood!’ What a wonderful challenge to take a well-known classic fairy tale and a charming and funny score and libretto by Seymour Barab and be given the opportunity to put my own bit of a modern twist on it.”

The performances will star Kelsey Ronn, Katelyn Bird, Alessia Vitali, Maria Milenic, George Theodorakopoulos, and Luke Noftall. Evan Mounce conducts.

“Little Red Riding Hood” will be performed Nov. 28, 2025 through Dec. 7, 2025 at the Mamdani Opera Centre.
