Brundibár is a family friendly opera.

Synopsis:

Annette and Little Joe need to get milk to make their sick mother better. In the town square they see the local busker, Brundibár playing his hurdy-gurdy for money. The children decide to follow suit by singing a song. Brundibár laughs at them and chases them away so he doesn’t have to compete with them for money. Annette and Little Joe are very sad, when a Dog, a Cat and a Sparrow appear and offer to help the children stand up to Brundibár. They hatch a plan throughout the night and in the morning, the animals gather all the town children together to help Joe and Annette defeat the evil Brundibár.

The Colorado Mountain College performance will aslo feature a guest speaker to illuminate some of the rich history surrounding the piece and draw connections from 1940 Czechoslovakia, to The Triumphant Spirit Art Exhibit on display at CMC through their Art Share Program. This might not be appropriate for very young audience members. There will be a short interlude for additional entry after the lecture and before the performance, at approximately 6:20 PM.

There will also be a short question and answer session following the performance.
