Their fantastic adventures have finally conquered the music theatre stage in 2021 - in the opera by the Australian composer and this year's Composer in Residence Elena Kats-Chernin. She has developed a version especially for the tried and tested format of the participatory children's opera at Theater Magdeburg, which allows school classesand families direct musical and scenic participation.
