Let's Make an Opera - The Little Sweep

Approved

For the third time in 26 years, the Box Sonora Festival stages "The little sweep" for schools and for the whole public; a "didactic" opera that puts young and very young performers in contact with the music that Benjamin Britten wrote to tell the dramatic story of Sem, a nine-year-old boy forced by poverty to become a chimney sweep. A music that is now ironic, now touching, which underlines every moment of the story with explosive emotional force. (Togliere a capo) The work inaugurates (or proposes again for the first time in modern times) the idea of ​​the involvement of the spectators within the show: the public is in fact called to interpret the 4 choruses specially written by Britten.

Beyond these educationally important aspects, the intent is also to make viewers of all ages aware of the issue of child labor - a phenomenon sadly present in the era in which the story is pretended (beginning of the 19th century), at the time of composition of the work (1948) and nowadays – inviting them to symbolically collaborate in saving little Sem with some theatrical actions, with the gifts that young spectators have imagined for the protagonist during the school year, but above all with the collaboration – even between performers of different nationalities – according to Britten's own indication: “Let's make an opera!”
