HENNY PENNY: A CHILDREN’S OPERA – Claire Booth (soprano), Ensemble 360 & Children of Sheffield

PHILLIPS Henny Penny (20’)
ASSORTED Song Cycle (30’)

A world-first live staging of new opera and song made for – and by – curious young minds.

‘Henny Penny’ is a charming operatic adaptation of the folk tale about a young chicken who believes the sky is falling when an acorn lands on its head.

This children’s opera by the acclaimed composer Julian Phillips (Glyndebourne Opera’s first ever Composer-in-Residence) will be performed live for the very first time, featuring a cast including a choir of Sheffield primary children.

Original songs created as part of a new Music in the Round composition project with children in Sheffield schools will also be given their public premieres.
