Antanas Jasenka
Striped Opera
A witty 2-act children's opera exploring the magical world of music and family bonds.
Striped Opera introduces young audiences to the mysterious world of music through personified musical terms like teacher Tonalijus, Bass and Treble clefs, and the zebra Indigo. When evil forces disrupt the land, princess Melodija is kidnapped, leading her friend Triukšmutis on a daring rescue mission.
Beyond the whimsical adventure in the Music Kingdom, composer Antanas Jasenka's production shines a spotlight on family dynamics. Parents and children alike can recognize their own household disagreements and discover lighthearted ways to resolve them together.
