MELBOURNE, VIC. — From the author of Charlotte’s Web and Stuart Little comes a magical live concert experience with Orchestra Victoria.
Meet Louis, a young swan born without a voice. With the help of a boy named Sam and a stolen brass trumpet, Louis sets out to prove that even the quietest among us can make the loudest impact.
The Trumpet of the Swan is the perfect opportunity to introduce young people to the joys of orchestral music and storytelling – but its rich, symphonic score will appeal to everyone.
It brings E.B. White’s (Charlotte’s Web, Stuart Little) classic novel to the stage with lively narration performed by a group of actors alongside a cinematic, lyrical score played live by Orchestra Victoria.
Adapted for the stage by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Marsha Norman and Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown, this charming testament to the power of music was a hit at its Kennedy Centre premiere, with the Washington Post declaring “this lushly scored work will send you home with a helpless, contented smile on your face.”
Lovers of great stories, musicals, Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, Parade), and live orchestras. The Trumpet of the Swan is designed for young audiences (8-12) and their families, but music lovers of all ages will have a great time.
This adaptation of E.B. White’s “Trumpet of the Swan” was commissioned by the Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts and was first produced at the Kennedy Centre in December 2008.
