Das Dschungelbuch

In the organizer's words:

The human boy Mowgli loses his parents and grows up with wolves in the jungle, who save him from the tiger Shere Khan. Baloo the bear becomes his teacher and teaches him the laws of the jungle, with the help of Bagheera the panther. But Shere Khan does not tolerate humans in the jungle. He wants to convince the wolves that Mowgli is not one of them and that they must expel him from their community. Will Mowgli leave the jungle and find his place among the humans?

The Italian cellist Giovanni Sollima is a musically free-spirited border crosser between all styles and a skillful composer for all genres, from chamber music to large orchestral and theatrical works. With "Il libro della giungla", he has written an opera for the whole family based on one of the most famous classics of British colonial literature, "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling. The story of a foundling's coming of age in a completely foreign, exotic world and his search for identity has become immortal, not least thanks to the 1967 Disney film. The celebrated team around Italian opera director Pier Francesco Maestrini and his congenial cartoonist colleague Joshua Held ("The Journey to Rheims", "The Barber of Seville") dare to take a completely new, different look at the well-known and popular story with their opera-comic version of the material in a similar medium.
