This groundbreaking opera was created by LA Opera to engage babies with beautiful and comforting sights and sounds. In BambinO's world of soft pillows and gentle music, participation is encouraged! For ages 0 – 3 with parent or caregiver.

The performance lasts about 40 minutes. This is a very interactive experience. Each baby must be accompanied by one adult within the performance space. Any additional adults will be seated very closely nearby.

BambinO is made possible through the generous support of Third District Supervisor Sheila Kuehl.

About the branch

Malibu Library, located in the Malibu Civic Center Complex, was established in 1970 by the County of Los Angeles Public Library. Prior to 1970, a bookmobile provided library service to the Malibu community serving residents in Topanga Canyon and along the Pacific Coast Highway.

On April 22, 2012, a grand opening celebration was held to mark the completion of a $6 million renovation of the Malibu Library, designed by the architectural firm of LPA, Inc. and funded by revenue generated from local property taxes.

The new sustainable, LEED-certified library has been redesigned to represent Malibu's sand, sea and sun culture with features such as:

-A replica of the Adamson House tile rug in the main lobby
-A photographic exhibit featuring historical images of the area
-The Children's area featuring a marine life motif, including an 8' by 14' porcelain tile art piece designed by artist Christine Nguyen
-A Teen area that embraces Malibu's surf culture.
