With schools closed across Romania due to the novel coronavirus, it might get difficult for parents to keep their children entertained at home. But, in addition to games played inside the house and daily learning sessions to keep up with the school curriculum, the parents can go online for more entertaining options: theater plays and movies for children, workshops, virtual museum visits or educational games.
Several children’s theaters in Romania have started streaming performances online during this period, and it’s quite easy to access them, as they are available on the theaters' social media pages.
The Țăndărică Theater in Bucharest, for example, is live streaming performances on its Facebook page, twice a day. The theater publishes its weekly program on Facebook as well, and a guide on how to watch the shows online is available here (in Romanian). The recordings remain available for a short time after the live streaming ends because they are resumed in future programs.
The shows of the Ion CreangăTheater can also be watched online, on the theater’s Facebook page. The performances’ program is available here.
The Arlechino Children’s Theater in Brasov also turned to Facebook to live stream some of their performances. There is no official program yet, but the theater announces such online shows on its Facebook page.
Plus, creative workshops are being streamed live on the Facebook page of the Gong Theater for Children and Youth in Sibiu, while audio podcasts of children’s stories are available on the theater’s website here (in Romanian).
The Comic Opera for Children in Bucharest has launched the Children's Opera (Opera Copiilor) app, which allows subscribers to watch performances from the institution’s repertoire online. The new app also includes cultural, fun and educational shows. Read more about it
