Concert performance for children “The Princess and the Three Magic Riddles”

Among the many well-known fairy tales of the great Danish fairy tale master Hans Christian Andersen, there is one that is less well-known - “The Princess and the Three Magic Riddles”. We have taken this fairy tale as the basis for the next performance of the Early Music Festival for our little listeners and, of course, for the whole family. It will feature very vivid characters: a young boy Hannes, whose good heart and good deeds will help him fulfill a dream. The beautiful Princess, who has been bewitched by evil forces, and therefore all the suitors, not remembering the Princess's riddles, are turned into animals. A large role in the fairy tale will belong to a certain Companion, whose wise advice will be very useful to Hannes. The evil characters - the Devil and the Witch - will give special colors to the performance. In their strange castle, the Princess will not only find out what riddles to ask Hannes, but will also indulge in coffee. And there will be a good time to perform a small fragment of Johann Sebastian Bach's famous "Coffee Cantata". And right at the Devil and the Witch's house, the audience will also be treated to a musical surprise. The performance will be enriched by more than one bright performance by dancers and little singers. As always, the participants in the performance will be dressed in magnificent costumes, and creative workshops will be held before the concert. And finally, the main means of expression will undoubtedly be music, composed by great spirits of the past, this time the great master of German music Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries, as well as some pages of German folk music.
