Go wild at the Rosenbach with a dynamic, interactive performance inspired by the wonderful works of Maurice Sendak. Created by Karen Saillant, Artistic Director of the International Opera Theater, this children’s musical weaves together classic Sendak characters as well as other figures who have inspired the author, such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Performances last approximately 45 minutes.

Seating is limited. To ensure your seats, you may pick up tickets at the Rosenbach beginning date TBA. For advance ticket pickups, we ask that you pay museum admission for your family at that time. Tickets will also be available on event days. We are not able to accept ticket orders over the phone.
