Findus, the cheeky little tomcat, is up to his old tricks again at the Little House, playing pranks in old Pettersson’s yard. When Pettersson takes in the cockerel from the neighbouring farm as a permanent guest to save him from the imminent fate of ending up in the cooking pot, Findus’s daily routine is turned upside down: The hens adore the new arrival, and Pettersson even honours the cockerel’s constant crowing by naming him after the famous singer Caruso. For Findus, one thing is certain: the cockerel has to go!
With plenty of humour, this family opera explores themes of rivalry, the search for one’s place within a family – and reconciliation.
What the press said:
“Four-and-a-half-year-old Ole, at any rate, was so thrilled by the opera experience with his friend
Karl (5) was so thrilled by the opera experience that he
at the end: ‘Can we go and see that again?’ There’s no greater
compliment than that.”
