"Brundibár" - children's opera
Venue: Concert hall - Chemnitz Municipal Music School, Gerichtsstraße 1
Admission: 12 euros
"Brundibár" is more than just an enchanting story about childlike courage and community spirit. Composed in 1938, the children's opera could initially only be performed in secret in a Jewish children's home in Prague. After his deportation to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, the composer Hans Krása rehearsed it with the imprisoned children of the camp. Brundibár was performed there for the first time in September 1943 and 54 further performances followed.
Siblings Aninka and Pepíček go to the market to fetch milk for their sick mother. As they have no money, they want to do the same as the organ grinder Brundibár, who people throw coins into his hat for his music. They sing their favourite song, but nobody listens to them. Only when the cat, dog and sparrow help them round up all the children in the town is their song strong enough and soon Pepíček's hat is full of money.
Brundibár snatches it from the boy and tries to run away with it. But he has no chance against the crowd of children. They celebrate their triumph and friendly solidarity.
"Brundibár" is a co-production of the Chemnitz Theatre and the Chemnitz Municipal Music School.
