Mobile Opera’s DISCOVER! SCHOOL TOUR program, in cooperation with the Mobile Public Library, will present 2 free performance of “The Bremen Town Musicians.”
Featuring the music of Offenbach, Rossini, Donizetti, and Verdi, John Davies has adapted the tale of Dorabella the Cat, Barcarolle the Dog, Eddie Pensier the Rooster, and General Boom the Donkey into a delightful children’s opera. General Boom seeks to form a band for the town of Bremen using the outcast farm animals as musicians. It doesn’t take long for them to discover that they have to consider each other’s feelings before they can make music, but can the four very different creatures band together before pirates steal all their instruments?
Major Sponsor of Education and Outreach programs: The Nan H. Altmayer Charitable Trust
Additional funding for the Discover! School Tour is provided by The Alabama State Council on the Arts and the Alabama Support the Arts Tag.
