Der gestiefelte Kater

Due to the small number of required instruments, this musical fairy story for children can also be performed in small rooms. Tristan Schulze who is very successful in the field of children's theatre tells the story in a modern language. The music is written in classical harmony. The four string instruments provide a musical accompaniment of or comment on the text, or let the narrated action continue to have an effect in instrumental interludes. With imagination and love of experimentation, the work can be complemented by scenic actions, pictures and performances. Thus, 'Der gestiefelte Kater' playfully introduces children to the music-theatre genre.
Instrumentation:
narrator and string quartet
