OPERA IN UNDER AN HOUR FOR BUDDING MUSIC LOVERS!
The band that bands together, stays together
An operatic version of The Town Musicians of Bremen. Eddie Pensier is a rooster who loves to sing, but his loud songs get him sent away from the farm. On the road, he meets Barcarolle the dog, Dorabella the cat, and General Boom the donkey—all animals who feel unwanted and dream of something better. By working together, they become a band and discover that friendship, teamwork, and kindness make any journey easier—and much more fun.
J. Offenbach, G. Rossini, G. Donizetti, A. Sullivan and G. Verdi
