The Trumpet of the Swan: For the first time in Australia, Jason Robert Brown’s charming introduction to musical storytelling

Symphony and storytelling bring E.B. White’s classic children’s novel The Trumpet of the Swan to life, 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 work, staged especially for families and children, is a charming testament to the power of music and a perfect introduction for young music lovers to live orchestral performance. A hit at its Kennedy Centre premiere, Opera Australia presents this delightful work on the Australian mainstage for the very first time.
