Threepenny Submarine
Are you a fan of opera, classic hits, puppets, and children’s shows? Then wowza, do we have the digital series for you! We’ve teamed up with Gazelle Automations to share the story of junior officers, Iona the cockatiel and Lydian the vixen, as they explore the deep sea in Threepenny Submarine near the mysterious Salieri Sector. After a scare, they accidentally come across a strange sea creature who sounds like a flute, and their adventure begins!
Opera Cheats
Heading to the opera but unsure of what to expect? Well, have we ever got you covered! Check out our Opera Cheats - our YouTube shorts with everything from what to wear to the opera (spoilers: anything you want!) to opera plots.
We thought we’d start you off with The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart. Synopsis in short: Figaro's getting married, but his boss wants to sleep with his fiancee. A tale as old as time.
