The Trumpet of the Swan - Melbourne
Regent Theatre
From the author of Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little comes a magical live concert experience with Orchestra Victoria. 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.
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 can make the loudest impact.
The Trumpet of the Swan brings E.B. White's 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 Center premiere.
The Trumpet of the Swan is designed for young audiences (8 to 12 years) and their families, but music-lovers of all ages will have a great time, especially lovers of great stories, musicals, Jason Robert Brown, and live orchestras.
