En eventyrlig opera for børn og deres voksne

Det sidste æg hos andemor bliver endelig udklækket, og ud kommer en ælling, som ingen af de andre dyr i andedammen forstår. Hvad er det for en underlig farve og facon, og dur den overhovedet til noget?

Eventyret om den Den grimme ælling fortælles af tre duer, der keder sig og beslutter sig for at lege hele eventyret sammen. De klæder sig ud og lever sig så meget ind i rollerne, at de næsten glemmer, at det bare skulle være en sjov leg…

En PixiOpera er teater fortalt med sang i et nærværende møde mellem kunstnere og publikum. De musikalske uddrag er hentet fra kendte operatitler, som har fået ny tekst. Børn og deres voksne kan dermed opleve operarepertoiret gennem et velkendt eventyr af H C Andersen.

PixiOperaen synges af to operasangere, der akkompagneres af en pianist.

Musikalske uddrag fra bl.a. Mozarts Figaros bryllup og Tryllefløjten, Carl Nielsens Maskarade, Peter Heises Drot og Marsk, Franz Lehárs Den glade enke og Emmerich Kálmáns Czardasfyrstinden.

An adventurous opera for children and their adults

The mother duck's last egg finally hatches, and out comes a duckling that none of the other animals in the duck pond understand. What is this strange color and shape, and is it even good for anything?

The story of The Ugly Duckling is told by three pigeons who are bored and decide to play out the whole story together. They dress up and get into the roles so much that they almost forget that it's just supposed to be a fun game...

A PixiOpera is theater told with song in a present meeting between artists and audience. The musical excerpts are taken from well-known opera titles, which have been given new text. Children and their adults can thus experience the opera repertoire through a well-known fairy tale by HC Andersen.

The PixiOpera is sung by two opera singers who are accompanied by a pianist.

Musical excerpts from i.a. Mozart's  The Wedding of Figaro  and  The Magic Flute , Carl Nielsen's  Masquerade , Peter Heise's  Drot and Marsk , Franz Lehár's  The Merry Widow  and Emmerich Kálmán's  Princess of Czardas .
