The Orphan Singer is adapted from the book written and illustrated by award-winning author Emily Arnold McCully, and features music by Antonio Vivaldi, libretto by Barbara Zinn Krieger. Music is selected and arranged by Rick Erickson. Produced by Making Books Sing.

The Orphan Singer is a visually beautiful, exciting, one-hour production, introducing family audiences to the music of Vivaldi and the splendor of Venice during the Baroque period! The cast of four gifted actor/singers includes: Alissa Hunnicutt, Anne Ricci, Scott Reiburn and Michael Gabriel Goodfriend. An onstage chamber ensemble bring the acclaimed story to life.
