Second Nature
A new children’s opera by Matthew Aucoin

Second Nature
is set in the not-so-distant future, when the
environment has deteriorated and humans live in zoo-like habitats that

inhabitants, two young children dare to explore the world outside the
walls to see if there is still something worth saving. Recommended for
children 8-12. Directed by Matthew Ozawa.
