Pettersson und Findus by Ramdohr, Noiztik (2021/2022), Zuzendaria Holger Potocki, Zuzendaria Benjamin Huth, Landestheater Detmold, Detmold, Germany

Pettersson and Findus, the quirky protagonists of the famous Swedish children's book series, are of one heart and soul and lead a tranquil life on their farm. Until Caruso, the vain rooster from the neighboring farm, flees from the soup pot and disturbs the twosome. Caruso crows melodies incessantly and shamelessly turns the heads of the farm hens. Everyone loves Caruso. Just not Findus. The tame tomcat soul is shaken. Findus fears for his position as Pettersson's darling, and when he's had enough, he hatches a devious plan. This story has everything that opera needs: a youthful hero, real intrigue and stirring music.
