| Synopsis: | Kaspar Hauser: a foundling's opera is a true tale about a wild child found on the streets of Nuremburg in 1828. With a story much like a Dickens novel, the piece explores all the good and evil that happens when an innocent is introduced into society. Kaspar Hauser is a fairy tale, a fable, and a Brechtian gaze at our addiction to stars (and the tabloids) and the society that lifts them up only to slam them down. Says co-creator Elizabeth Swados, 'Kaspar Hauser is a musical theatre piece, you might call it an opera, somewhere between Beethoven and Queen'. - press release | |||||
