Brundibár
Score by Hans Krása
Libretto by Adolf HoffmeisterA family friendly opera.
Annette and Little Joe need to get milk to make their sick mother better. In the town square they see the local busker, Brundibár playing his hurdy-gurdy for money. And they decide to follow suit by singing a song. Brundibár laughs at them and chases them away so he doesn’t have to compete with them for money. The children are very sad, when a Dog, a Cat and a Sparrow appear and offer to help the children stand up to Brundibár, they hatch a plan throughout the night and in the morning, the animals gather all the town children together to help Joe and Annette defeat the evil Brundibár.
