Segerstrom Center for the Art’s 2018-19 Family Series continues with They Called
Her Vivaldi on February 16 & 17 in Samueli Theater. From Ireland’s acclaimed Theatre Lovett comes a
whimsical “theatrical treat” (The Arts Review) for young audiences ages seven and up.
Touring North America February – May 2019, They Called Her Vivaldi tells the story of a young musical prodigy as she
encounters colorful characters on a quest to recover her magical hat. This show, along with others in the
Center’s Family Series, seeks to inspire young imaginations, to create a life-long interest and appreciation
for live theater, and to be enjoyed and shared as a family.

THEATRE LOVETT’S 5-STAR PRODUCTION
THEY CALLED HER VIVALDI
COMES TO SEGERSTROM CENTER FOR THE ARTS
“A rich rewarding symphony… easily the best family entertainment
onstage right now.” – The Irish Times
About They Called Her Vivaldi
Cecilia Maria is a sensitive musical prodigy, making a quiet name for herself in a cacophonous world until
one night her magical, musical hat “Capello” goes missing. Now, she must venture out into the noisy city
to track down the mysterious Cat Burglar. Along the way, she meets a pizza maker with no saltshaker, a
gondolier with no oar and a hairdresser with no scissors. Her adventure brings her face to face with the
sneaky thief and a startling truth about herself. Part comedy, part thriller, this new production is designed for
ages 7 and over celebrates the power within us all to follow our dreams.
They Called Her Vivaldi is brought to you by Theatre Lovett, one of Ireland’s leading companies producing work for family
audiences; a theater that engages, entertains and inspires both adult and child in the one show.
Segerstrom Center for the Arts is an acclaimed arts institution as well as a beautiful multi-disciplinary
cultural campus. It is committed to supporting artistic excellence on all of its stages, offering unsurpassed
experiences, and to engage the entire community in new and exciting ways through the unique power of
