Ensemble Opera Diversa | Boža in the Kingdom of Puppets

Boža in the Kingdom of Puppets

The opera Boža in the Kingdom of Puppets, performed by members of the Ensemble Opera Diversa, is a work intended not only for children, but also for parents and all music lovers who enjoy happy endings. It was created based on an original libretto inspired by Bohuslav Martinů's piano cycle Puppets.

The music and instrumentation were composed by Markéta Brothánková, and the libretto was written by Kateřina Křivánková. The story tells of Boža the mouse, who leaves home to find something to eat and finds himself in a world of puppets: Harlequin, Pierrot, and the beautiful Colombina, who experience their joys and sorrows. Come and enjoy this entertaining story with music by Bohuslav Martinů about courage and friendship.

The performance lasts 45 minutes without intermission and is intended for children aged 4 and up.
