Let's Make an Opera - The Little Sweep

Approved

An eclectic musician, foreign to the modernism of the historical avant-gardes of the twentieth century, Britten freely drew on the forms of the American musical, popular songs and ancient and modern cultured music, reconciling social commitment and strong communication skills. The little chimney sweepit is among the numerous works that the English composer has dedicated to children, involved in the role of both performers and spectators. The work was written for the Aldeburg festival and presented in 1949, later becoming one of the most famous titles in musical theater for children. The subject is a story of children, in an alternation of funny and touching episodes in which little Sam manages to free himself from the cruelties of the adult world before happily returning to the world of childhood, free to play, study, and be a child.
Created in 1997 and staged regularly over the course of over 15 years, the staging of the Little Chimney Sweep is one of the most successful that the Modena Municipal Theater has dedicated to young and young people.
This production of the show, whose interpreters are students of the White Voices and Higher Education courses of the Municipal Theater, collects the fruits of the Modena City of Belcanto project aimed at combining the training of young singers and opera production.
