The children’s opera Brundib\u00e1r<\/a> was a popular cultural activity and a powerful symbol of hope when performed by the Jewish people imprisoned in the Terez\u00edn Ghetto in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia.<\/p>\n

Seventy years later, the opera will finally have its Sydney premiere production<\/strong><\/a>, having been performed hundreds of times around the world since being re-discovered in the 1970s. Performed by a cast of over 30 children aged 8 to 12 years and professional musicians, this will be a beautiful opportunity for parents and grandparents to share their children’s first ever experience of opera.<\/p>\n

Brundib\u00e1r<\/a> tells the story of a brother and sister who overcome a local town bully in order to help their ill mother. While the context of where Brundib\u00e1r was first performed is brutal, the actual work is bright, funny, uplifting and full of wonderful music. The orchestration is both delicate and challenging enough to provide entertainment for sophisticated and inexperienced ears alike. As all fables do, it carries meaning and lessons beyond the words and notes for all of us to hear and remember.<\/p>\n
