“Charlie and the Wolf” is an opera for young people commissioned by Cedar Rapids Opera. Bored middle schooler Logan dozes off, only to have Wolfgang Mozart and Charlie Parker appear to teach her about music and friendship. Cast members Brittany Graham, Evan J. Nelson, Lindsay Paradise, and Rene Vazquez will bring this fanciful tale to life for just one public show, January 13 at the Cedar Rapids Public Library. They’ll also take it on tour to nearly a dozen area schools.
