About the show
HERE presents 'Science Fair,' a live science show with lessons and lectures delivered through song. More…
An opera singer’s love song to science, this unique production was conceived by mezzo-soprano and star, Hai-Ting Chinn. 'Science Fair' uses demos and experiments, a libretto created from the words of scientists, and original music to illuminate our current understanding of the natural world. Celebrating curiosities like the formation of our solar system, the structure of the atom, and the ancient legacy of DNA, 'Science Fair' pairs lighthearted humor with luscious operatic vocals.
