Operan Väntarna passar barn från 3 år och är en poetisk berättelse om att vilja vara älskad och omtyckt. Några sönderälskade dockor och nallar väntar på sin ägare Katarina. När hon inte dyker upp börjar leksakerna bli oroliga. Vad har hänt? 

Tycker inte Katarina om oss längre, undrar Krokodilen, Undulaten, Kaninen, Björnen och Trasmaja. Vi får följa hela gänget i deras upptåg i väntan på att Katarina ska komma tillbaka. Alla vill vara hennes favorit, men nu känner sig alla övergivna. 

TA MED DITT GOSEDJUR
Att få hålla om sitt eget gosedjur kan vara mysigt samtidigt som vi lär känna karaktärerna som har drabbats av längtan efter sin ägare. 

INSPIRERAT AV BARNENS IDÉER
Pjäsen Väntarna är skriven 1975 av författaren, poeten och dramatikern Werner Aspenström. Baserat på pjäsen, gjordes 1989 en opera som sattes upp av en klass på Operahögskolan i Göteborg. Musiken komponerades av den framstående tonsättaren Lars Johan Werle, som bl a är känd för musikalen Animalen där Tage Danielsson stod för texten. Regin i den här uppsättningen är inspirerad av barnens idéer, som togs tillvara i workshopen Det magiska OM 2020.

svenska

The opera  Väntarna  is suitable for children from the age of 3 and is a poetic story about wanting to be loved and liked. Some much-loved dolls and teddy bears are waiting for their owner Katarina. When she doesn't show up, the toys start to worry. What has happened? 

Doesn't Katarina like us anymore, wonders the Crocodile, the Budgerigar, the Rabbit, the Bear and Trasmaja. We get to follow the whole gang in their antics while waiting for Katarina to come back. Everyone wants to be her favorite, but now everyone feels abandoned. 

BRING YOUR STUFFED PET
Being able to hold your own stuffed animal can be cozy while we get to know the characters who have suffered from longing for their owner. 

INSPIRED BY THE CHILDREN'S IDEAS
The play The Waits was written in 1975 by the writer, poet and playwright Werner Aspenström. Based on the play, an opera was made in 1989 which was staged by a class at the Opera College in Gothenburg. The music was composed by the prominent composer Lars Johan Werle, who is known, among other things, for the musical Animalen where Tage Danielsson was responsible for the lyrics. The direction in this set is inspired by the children's ideas, which were put to use in the workshop Det magiska OM 2020.
