Harpa fam­ily pro­gram­me: Tumi Goes to the Moon - Reyk­javík Op­era Days

Children and families are invited to the musical adventure Tumi goes to the moon. The show is part of Opera Days and Harpa's family programme. 

“Tumi goes to the Moon” is a musical adventure with narration in rhyming verse, catchy songs and illustrated visuals. – Young Tumi cannot fall asleep. He hears the Man in the Moon calling to him as his bed quietly soars out of the window and glides into the air. Curious birds and musical raindrops welcome the little boy before he lands on the Moon to meet with children from all over the world who have come to hear the important message from the Man in the Moon.
