PBSO Music for Children Program and Downeast Theatre present: BRUNDIBÁR
Following the success of "Peter and the Wolf" in 2014 and "Hansel and Gretel" in 2016, the Passamaquoddy Bay Symphony Orchestra (PBSO) is ready to present its third Music for Children project: "Brundibár!" Well-known Czechoslovakian Jewish composer Hans Krása wrote this prize-winning opera for children in 1938—early in the Nazi period of control in Czechoslovakia. During World War II, Nazis established a “City for the Jews” (Theresienstadt, or ‘Terezin,’ concentration camp) to convince the Red Cross that the camps were acceptable places. In this “City” the opera was performed 55 times by an all-child cast accompanied by musicians playing instruments they had been able to smuggle into the camp. Despite continuous changes in the cast due to ongoing deportations, "Brundibár" was a great source of hope and pride for residents of the camp.
