Travel back over 3,000 years into the desert between Egypt and the Promised land where more than two million people banded together to build a tabernacle for their God.  Each element inside this sanctuary had deep significance to the Hebrew people and this tour brings each symbol to life. Touring Messiah’s Mansion provides a unique opportunity to learn more about ancient history through a living museum.  Instead of learning about history from books, participants get a chance to see demonstrations of life long ago. This tour can engage children and adults alike.

           This store and museum feature an incredible array of musical instruments from banjos and guitars to a Tibetan Temple Horn.  You can see, touch and play musical instruments from around the world.  The music educator will share the history of specific instruments and the cultures of the people playing them. He will then demonstrate by playing some of them.  We will also have a mini jam session where we can clap and sing along.

Elementary school students (older students are welcome too), explore the historic Dorothy Chandler Pavilion through an interactive performance in the Eva and Marc Stern Grand Hall. We’ll journey to Spain with the Toreador from Bizet’s Carmen, meet the sad clown of Verdi’s Rigoletto and a high-flying couple from Mozart’s The Magic Flute and a stop by Paris with Musetta from Puccini’s La Boheme before The Girl of the Golden West brings us back home to California. This will be followed by a behind- the-scenes tour of the opera house.

Meet on the west side of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.  We suggest you plan to arrive at the Music Center no later than 11:00 am in order to park and walk up to the Plaza.  Remember downtown traffic! The performance lasts approximately 45 minutes and is followed by a 45-minute tour of the Opera House.
