Under the Little Red Moon is a vibrant, colourful mash-up of animation, music and live action performance made especially for babies and the under-4s!

Full of catchy and energetic songs to help your child explore language and communication through music and movement, we made Under the Little Red Moon in consultation with specialist paediatricians to make sure it was the best it could be.

The story begins with a red moon rising above Lulu, Monty and their friend Tom… Let’s play!

We have collaborated with National Literacy Trust's Words for Lifeto create some resources that go alongside the opera to help you and your child interact with the story.

Synopsis

The story begins with a red moon rising above Lulu, Monty and their friend Tom.

Let’s play! But why is the moon red? Look! Now it’s turned blue and it’s crying blue dots. Do the ladybirds know why? Perhaps the little pond can tell us? Or maybe the rabbits have the answer. Oh! Now we know! The rabbits have stolen all the shiny things that make the moon white. We’ll give them back to the moon. That’s better!
