The Three Little Pigs and the Wolf | Tour 2016 Europe
The popular story of The Three Little Pigs represented in an exceptional children’s opera in one act with an adaptation of Mozart’s music, selected from his operas Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro, and The Magic Flute, among others.
A complete and real opera performance through the story of The Three Little Pigs and the Big, Bad Wolf. A show to experience the human voice as molded by Mozart, one of the greatest composers of all ages.
Houses of straw and wood flying and falling, a brick house that would be the envy of many today, and a fierce and cunning, but ultimately powerless Big Bad Wolf.
All the elements necessary for a full stage experience, with live voices and instruments.

Aquí los cerdos no gruñen; ni hablan, como en el tradicional cuento deLos tres cerditos, sino que cantan. Y cantan ópera al ritmo de la música que compuso uno de los grandes, para muchos, el más grande, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Pero en el montaje L’Òpera dels tres porquets, que mañana se estrena en el Teatro El Musical de Valencia, las letras de Don Giovanni, Las bodas de Figaro y La flauta mágica han sido sustituidas por el relato en valenciano de las vicisitudes de tres pequeños cerdos frente a un hambriento lobo que quiere comérselos, como hace buena parte de los humanos.
