Opera Australia: The Trumpet of the Swan

He raised his trumpet and blew a strong, clear note. It was the greatest moment of his life.

Meet Louis, a young swan born without a voice. With the help of a boy named Sam and a stolen trumpet, Louis sets out to prove that even the quietest among us can make the loudest impact.

A "novel symphony for actors and orchestra", 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.

this lushly scored work will send you home with a helpless, contented smile on your face

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, with the Washington Post declaring "this lushly scored work will send you home with a helpless, contented smile on your face."

The Trumpet of the Swan is a perfect opportunity to introduce young people in your life to the joys of orchestral music and storytelling, but rich enough to thrill even the most experienced music lovers.
