Following the tighter restrictions, OperaUpClose’s new urban fairytale has been given an extended online run!
Eight-year-old Sammy and her dad used to have lots of fun together, making up stories and mixing potions in their kitchen. But something outside is scaring Dad and he doesn't have the energy to play anymore. As Sammy ticks off the days until her mum gets home, Dad becomes more withdrawn and a mysterious vine starts tapping at their windows. What does it want? And is there anything Sammy can do to help Dad be brave once more?
Olivier Award-winning OperaUpClose presents a fun and spooky story, told from the perspective of 8-year-old Sammy. We will be drawing inspiration from classic winter tales, both cosy and gothic, as well as opera, theatre and film to create a thrilling story-telling experience, in a wonderfully intimate setting.
Sammy and the Beanstalk is aimed at children aged 7+, families and any adult with a sense of fun and wonder. Tickets to watch this performance will be £5 and it will be free to access for schools and those on low incomes.

Sammy and the Beanstalk is the perfect online show, with something for our much younger and older audiences to enjoy. This 30-minute play-with-songs is a story about bravery and kindness, which tackles the isolation we've all experienced over the past few months.
Once you buy your ticket for this performance, you'll be able to watch at whatever time suits you, as many times as you want up until 22 February! Your ticket will also include a link for the digital programme, with lots of fun craft activities to enjoy with your family and friends at home!
