This is a new spectacular adaptation of H. C. Andersen’s wonderful and harsh fairytale. Its visual and musical aspects have been put to the utmost use. It is the well-known fairytale about the real nightingale that is replaced by a replica, set at the magnificent Chinese imperial court. And so the story unfolds before the audience with plenty of court intrigues and malevolence. In this version, the fairytale has been lifted to an exotic and compelling universe where H. C. Andersen’s poetic text is transformed into amazing stage images, intensified greatly by Sebastian’s music that is a real sound feast of Chinese notes and modern musical pieces. The large cast allows duplications so the show is doable with fewer actors.
