Brundibár
Score by Hans Krása Libretto by Adolf Hoffmeister
A 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.
