Lucrecia y el canto de los dudasaurios
A bilingual children’s opera by Nur Slim
Amity Trio is putting together a project that is 65 million years in the making! This bilingual (Spanish/English) children’s opera is Amity Trio’s collaboration with Nur Slim. It is available as a live performance and in short episodes by streaming!
Lucrecia y el canto de los dudasaurios / Lucrecia and the Song of the Doubting Dinosaurs inspires young audiences and their loved ones to be their genuine selves. Through the power of virtual production and an accompanying hands-on activity book, we can offer this joyful interactive performance to schools, families, and community centers all over the world. Amity Trio worked with a top-notch diverse team of composer, artists, and filmmakers to bring Nur Slim’s captivating story to life through endearing puppets and delightful animation!

Resource Materials
Along with performances, Amity Trio provides interactive lessons for educators to use as additional material.
“Amity Trio's emphasis on performing music from underrepresented composers is so needed in our world today. Their performances are always artistic and engaging, informative and educational. This performance, Lucrecia y el Canto de los Dudasaurios, introduced children and their grown ups to the music of Mexican composer Nur Slim in her interactive, joy-filled, bilingual opera for families performed by Amity Trio and their guests with playful perfection!”
-Julia Church Hoffman, UNM Music Prep School Director
