As part of the\u00a0Art to Go!<\/a> program at Wildwood Park for the Arts<\/a>, Praeclara’s artistic director, Bevan Keating, will direct a touring production of this charming children’s operetta based on a Brothers Grimm folktale.<\/p>\n

The audience joins Dorabella the Cat, Barcarolle the Dog, Eddie Pensier the Rooster, and General Boom the Donkey as they journey the roads to Bremen to form their own band of musicians. \u00a0The story, adapted for the stage by John Davies, focuses on themes of enhancing communities through teamwork and collaborative problem solving. Students in Pre-K through 5th grade will delight in the classic opera music of Offenbach, Rossini, Donizetti, Sullivan, and Verdi as they also learn to consider the feelings of others in all situations.\u00a0Cast members will conduct question and answer sessions\u00a0with the audience after each performance.<\/p>\n

Eh hop!” from\u00a0Orphee Aux Enfers<\/em>, “Pace e gioa sia con voi<\/em>” from\u00a0Il Barbiere di Siviglia<\/em>, “Ai capricci, della sorte<\/em>” from\u00a0L’Italiana in Algieri<\/em>,” and “Things are seldom what they seem” from\u00a0H.M.S.
