Fairy Tales on the Musical Carpet «Ada und ihre Tuba»
based on the picture book «Adam und seine Tuba» by Žiga X Gombač and Maja Kastelic
published by Nord Süd Verlag
For children 4 years and older, with adult accompanied
The artistic Purlovski family thrills the audience in the circus tent with their tricks. Ada is the only one whose hidden talents have yet to be noticed by anyone – until one day she mesmerizes everyone with the sound of her tuba.
This series is our offer for the youngest of opera guests. We tell stories from children’s books and bring them to life through song and music in a semi-staged performance. The children are very close to the action and contribute to the event.
