The Musician
International Premiere
The Musician is a spellbinding new opera for young people. The story of a child destined to become the best known flautist of them all….the Pied Piper. Rejected by his own townsfolk, the young boy meets a travelling musician who teaches him how to play the flute. The boy plays beautifully but then discovers that the music has an extraordinary effect on the town’s rats; a dangerous hypnotic power.
With magic, dance and its very own orchestra, The Musician is a dark, original and truly thrilling piece of musical theatre. Written and composed by Conor Mitchell (recent collaborator with Pet Shop Boys and the Peter Hall Company).
“The Musician becomes a chilling horror-opera... which challenges the imagination of its young audience.” The Irish Times
Baboró Notes: It was an amazing experience to sit with a school audience and see them totally enraptured by an opera. Beware of the rats….
