“Liar on the Loose” – a children’s opera with music by
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) and a libretto by
Anne Brodin and rasmus Hansen.
Grown-ups cannot go on keeping Mozart to themselves. Now
the time has come for children to experience some of the
greatest music ever written. The company Opera on Wheels
has converted their unbridled enthusiasm for the music of the
great Austrian into a show that gives children an immediate
experience of the beautiful sounds of Mozart.
The well-known arias from Mozart operas have been given a
new Danish text – and are now part of a completely new story:
We are in an all-night shop, run by a lady who also happens
to be the pianist of the show. A diverse group of customers,
played by one female and one male singer, visit the shop. And
who is the mysterious thief and why wasn’t he stopped by the
lady’s angry dog?
This is surely not Mozart as we know him. But still, it is Mozart
as he would like people to listen to his music – as something
which is alive, entertaining and vital for all people. “Liar on the
Loose” is a joyous experience especially for children aged 4 to 8.
Duration: 35 minutes.
