Description
Sydney Opera House offers a wide range of exceptional performances for young people, from national and international companies, every year. For those students who aren’t able to get to the House for a live experience, we are offering two exclusive opportunities to watch a performance and take part in a post-show Q&A – without having to leave your classroom.
About the performance
A captivating adaptation of Jean Giono’s classic environmental tale, this is the story of a shepherd, his dog, and their mission to transform a barren land into a beautiful forest, acorn by acorn.
Hear the wind, feel the rain and smell the lavender in this multi-sensory theatrical delight. An engaging mix of storytelling, comedy and puppetry, The Man Who Planted Trees is an inspiring production, showing us the difference one man (and his dog!) can truly make.
A Teachers Resource Pack and curriculum-linked units of work will be provided with all Digital Education programs and streamed performances.
