Red Riding Hood (aka Secret of the Ninja) answers the age-old questions lovers of this classic fairy tale have been asking for centuries: Why doesn’t Granny bake the cake herself? How did the Wolf know Red would be in the woods with the cake at that exact date and time? Most importantly, why does Red wear that Hood? You soon will deem things aren’t as they seem as these and many more questions are finally answered in Virginia Stewarts very funny adaptation of the classic fairy tale set to classical music’s greatest hits and beautifully illustrated by Monika Suska. “Red Riding Hood, aka Secret of the Ninja" was nominated for 2012 Best Childrens Album by the Independent Music Awards.

Red Riding Hood (aka Secret of the Ninja) is the whimsical sequel to Once Upon An Opera’s internationally beloved Three Piggy Opera, and is the behind the scenes story of the circumstances leading up to the infamously tumultuous showdown between Red Riding Hood and the Wolf.
Granny, Red and Red’s Mom all have their secrets, namely: THEY ARE ALL NINJAS. However, none of them want to admit it to the others for fear of being ridiculed and rejected. This is a story about being true to yourself and the importance of telling the truth, especially to those we love, and tangled webs we weave when trying to deceive, even when the deceptions are done with the best of intentions.

Granny and her best friend, the Wolf, want a cake. Granny doesn’t bake, so she calls her loyal daughter to ask her to make a cake.

Mama, Red’s Mother, doesn’t bake, but instead of coming clean to Granny about her culinary shortcomings, she calls on her friend, (the Wolf from THE THREE PIGGY OPERA), who is known for her delicious cakes. The Baking Wolf is unavailable, as she has to be in court for the THREE PIGGY OPERA, but promises to make a cake on Saturday.

Mama has a Karate competition on Saturday, but instead of admitting to the scheduling conflict, she volunteers Red Riding Hood to deliver the cake to Granny. Granny, upon hearing of the cake’s delivery date, has to think fast as SHE has a Karate competition that day too… but instead of telling her daughter that she is a ninja, she asks the Wolf to dress up in her Granny Gown and get the cake from Red when she delivers it.

Red Riding Hood is pretty frustrated with the situation - she has to deliver the cake to Granny on the same day SHE had a karate competition to attend (so she could finally pass from being a Red Hood to the next level up), but instead of telling Granny and her Mom that she wants to pursue her karate interests, she cancels her part of the competition and resigns herself to being a Red Hood forever.

Deceptions are all finally bear and everyone’s lies are exposed in this very funny story. The creative twists will keep kids entertained right up to the end and the sophisticated humor will keep the adults laughing too.
