Joshua’s Boots, commissioned in 1998 by Opera Theatre of St. Louis and the Kansas City Opera, was created to give young audiences a positive first experience with opera. With the allure of a cowboy story, Joshua’s Boots illustrates a tale of unexpected heroism amid realities of the American “Wild West” that generally go untold. We invite children to join us dressed in their cowboy finery. They’ll have so much fun they won’t even notice that it’s good for them.

Joshua's Boots, an opera for young people, co-commissioned by Opera Theatre of Saint Louis and Lyric Opera of Kansas City, with generous support from the Fred M. Saigh Endowment Fund, produced and presented by Opera Theatre of Saint Louis in cooperation with the Touhill Performing Arts Center and the University of Missouri-St. Louis College of Fine Arts and Communication.
