A children’s opera in two acts Music by Hans Krása Libretto by Adolf Hoffmeister New English version by Tony Kushner Conceived and Designed by Maurice Sendak |
| Originally performed by youth living in the Theresienstadt concentration camp, Brundibár tells of two children, Aninka and Pepícek, who must procure milk for their sick mother. This short opera has a story and music that are accessible enough for a child audience, but layered and textured with meaning from its historical origins, making it a significant experience for an adult audience as well. |
