Preview: Hear it

When Aninku and Pepicek discover one morning that their mother is sick, they rush to town for milk to make her better. Their attempt to earn money by singing is thwarted by a bullying, bellowing hurdygurdy grinder, Brundibar, who tyrannizes the town square and chases all other street musicians away.

Brundibar is based on a Czech opera for children that was performed fiftyfive times by the children of Terezin, the Nazi concentration camp
