Children's opera 6-10 years

after Carsten Brandau

In this newly composed opera, children and adults immerse themselves together in the magical universe of I, YOU and NOE.

The two beings YOU and ME discover their affection for each other in a playful exchange. But then it starts to rain heavily and a spaceship lands, whose captain NOE announces a deluge. YOU and I can't swim, but NOE only takes musicians on board his intergalactic rescue spaceship: “Two of each instrument.” Only when DU makes NOE laugh with the joke “Says the whale to the tuna ...” is NOE prepared to let DU on board. ME, who fails to do so, is left behind alone. Will YOU leave ME out in the rain?
