3. Today at 10:00 a.m., the Cincinnati Opera will be holding an all-ages exploration of the world of opera. The event is a great way to get kids excited about this fascinating art form, with a reading of “When Marian Sang” and an exploration of the life of Marian Anderson, the first Black woman to take the stage at the Metropolitan Opera. The all-ages event will take place at the Northside Branch of the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library. (Cincinnati Opera via Facebook)
