The Nightingale

The theatrical production of The Nightingale takes children to China and into the Chinese emperor's palace, where H.C. Andersen's poetic story about "the beauty in simplicity" is told in a musical and fairy-tale manner.

A little nightingale is banished from the empire because the emperor prefers an artificial bird made of gold, adorned with rubies and diamonds - and forgets that all artificial things eventually break. When the mechanical nightingale breaks down, the emperor becomes so sorrowful that he nearly dies of grief. At the last moment, the living nightingale returns and sings away his sorrow.

The performance is for children and the young at heart. Remember to buy tickets for both children and adults.
