24th Annual High School Theatre Festival
October 19, 2020
The Enchanted Pig
A chamber opera with music by Jonathan Dove and libretto by Alasdair Middleton.
When you’re a princess you expect a fairytale wedding. You don’t expect your husband to be hairy, smelly and...a pig.
The three daughters of King Hildebrand enter a room in the castle containing a book which predicts their fortunes; two are to be married to princes, but Flora is to be married to a pig. Things must take place as the book decrees; but it transpires that the pig marrying Flora is in fact a prince under a spell. Does Flora have what it takes to break the spell?
We hope to see you there!
