Threepenny Submarine
Watch season one of Threepenny Submarine to experience Iona and Lydian’s great deep-sea adventure where opera meets puppets!
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.

“As an educator, I found Opera 5's Threepenny Submarine fun and educational for my grade 1 students. The programming they designed teaches students about music in a fun, engaging, and meaningful way. The follow-up materials allow students to demonstrate their new knowledge, which makes it easy to assess my students' learning. I recommend Opera 5 for any school looking to supplement their primary music program!”
