About the Event

The Anchorage Opera Overture Council and Anchorage Opera Chorus had a great time caroling at The Alaska Zoo‘s fun “Christmas for the Animals”! Dressed the part by Anchorage Opera, Costumière, Catherine Warden!

Zoo visitors enjoyed an entire day of the festivities! Santa was in the greenhouse and the zoo animals had their stockings hung with care at their habitats (for stuffing with your food donations)!
