The Littlest Mermaid
2025-10-05 11:30 - 12:30 (America/Chicago) | The Iowa Children’s Museum, 1451 Coral Ridge Ave, Coralville, Iowa, 52241, United States
Join us for a special performance of The Littlest Mermaid from the Cedar Rapids Opera at The Iowa Children’s Museum! This 40-minute performance is included with museum admission (free for members)!

This children’s outreach opera is an adaptation of Dvořák’s Rusalka. Originally a full-length Czech opera with a tragic ending, this charming English adaptation by Josh Borths offers a happy ending for the mermaid Rusalka and her prince.

A very special thanks to our friends at the Cedar Rapids Opera for providing this children’s outreach opera in our museum!
